    First time post.
    Hello members,
    I currently have PPOR home loan with redraw facility. And have enough savings here for 20% deposit.

    My question is, should I reduce my home loan by paying with redraw savings and apply for equity extraction ? if so don't you think banks will understand that by seeing statements ?

    Split the loan and redraw borrowing 105% for the IP - is generally how you would want to do it. More tax effective

    As Terry has outlined best to look at this structure if possible - only additional consideration I'd add into the structure would be as to if the owner occupier is going to be a future investment property as well.
