Hello,
I am looking to see if I can get some clarification about the deductible portion of a PPOR mortgage if I was to split a portion out for use as a deposit on an investment property.
For example, if I have a $500k mortgage on my PPOR, and refinance at $600k including a new $100k split loan portion to release equity to be entirely used as a deposit on an investment property (eg $400k purchase with loan for $300k).
Would the interest on the $100k split secured against the PPOR and the interest on the $300k investment loan both be deductible?
Or does using the $100k as a loan deposit constitute personal use instead of investment use of funds?
Thanks is advance.
