Using equity to buy a second property
Using your home equity as the deposit on an investment property. The valuation strategy, the LVR ceiling, and the cross-collateralisation trap to avoid.
How an equity release actually works
Increase your owner-occupier loan up to 80% of new valuation, draw the cash, deploy it as deposit on the investment property, kept in a separate split. The split-loan structure preserves deductibility.
