    Hi guys,

    I'm hoping to get some advice on my situation...

    I own a property (50/50 split) with my sister in Geelong which we purchased in 2012. It was recently valued at $545k and we have $220k owing.

    I am looking at purchasing my next IP by myself and was wondering if I can access half of the equity to go towards it? If so, is this a tricky process?

    Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

    Subject to servicing you can

    BUT your sister will need to provide a security guarantee, since its a joint property, or be a joint borrower
