    I know this is not the ideal strategy in terms of investment.
    We have no debts and some savings and are contemplating upgrading by building.
    We'd like to rent out PPOR. What are the tax implications and the best way to structure the loans?

    We have no debts...Thus no loan ?
    I'm confused.

    Borrow to build the PPOR?

    If it is later rented out the interest on the loan used to build may be deductible.

    If you are building a new PPOR which you will live in then the interest won't be deductible so there are no direct tax consequences.
