    Just a really simple question for the brokers.

    If I pay down loan on IP1 with lender A and have a 50k equity split to purchase IP2 with lender B and I then sell IP1.

    Can I keep the 50k loan with lender A or do I have to pay it back since the security of that loan is now gone.

    Assuming the answer is no I can't keep it, could I refinance IP2 to lender A and also take on the 50k loan and become its own security?
    Even combine the 2 loans?

    You borrow against property.

    So if you borrow against property A and later sell property B the borrowings against property A will not need to be paid back.

    But if you sell property A then you will need to either pay out the loans secured by property A or change the security to property B (or C etc).

    Consider the tax issues too.

    So the bank will accept change of security on an existing loan?

    So can I change from-

    Lender A - 50k loan - security IP1 (purchase expenses for IP2)
    Lender B - 280k loan- security IP2

    To-

    Lender A - 50k loan - security IP2
    Lender B - 280k loan - security IP2

    The implications are good as the 50k I haven't had to pay back will offset PPOR, increase buffer and should remain deductible.
