Hi guys,
I'm new-ish to this property game but have learnt a lot from this forum, great stuff. Interested in your suggestions in this situation.
First the plan....
1. Now - Approx. $275K savings, no debt, no IP's, no PPOR.
2. Purchase PPOR (House 1) for $350-400K
3. Use approximately $50-80K as deposit and get $300K IO loan
4. Put rest of savings in offset account $200K, effective leverage approx. 23%
5. Live in House 1 (PPOR) for 1-2 years until nealy paided off (equity $100K, savings in offset account $300K, minimal debt)
6. Purchase IP (House 2) with minimum deposit drawn from PPOR offset account, and obtain a loan as big as banks will give me.
7. Live in House 1 for 2-3 year enjoying tax benefits of deductible debt on large loan.
8. Move into House 2 withdraw as much equity from house 1 and put towards House 2. House 1 become IP and House 2 becomes PPOR.
I'm looking to purchase house 1 (step 2) in the coming months, does anyone have any thoughts about the loan provider that will provide what i need.
-IO loan on PPOR
-Offset account with no maximum in account
-Potentially a loan including offset account less than $100K
Also happy to get peoples thoughts on the plan? Should I be thinking about a tax effective structure or just general thoughts on the plan. I figure now is a good time to try and keep minimal leverage as captial growth in Melbourne is likely to be slow, then gear up in a few years when the upswing comes around again.
