    Hi - I want to look around, but I need to retain the ability to have multiple offsets against one P&I PPOR loan.

    Can anyone advise other lenders apart from CBA that permit this?

    I'm also happy to hear from any mortgage brokers that would be interested in helping me with this exercise.

    Thanks

    Plenty of lenders offer more than one offset via their package products so it's not really the limiting factor but it does depend on how many you need? - What other requirements do you have?

    Immediately coming to mind:
    * Macquarie
    * Suncorp
    * AMP

    A couple of the smaller banks/credit union type lenders do this as well.

    Not a huge amount so should be easy then, plenty of others with much better rates as Pete and Morgs have listed above.

    That can be a dangerous situation if any deductions are involved. You will then have a blended loan. Terribly messy and likely to mean no interest tax deduction is available if any element is a deductible use. Using any of the offset amounts would constantly affect the % that is deductible or even used for any purpose. A nightmare really.

    All the borrowing is for investment refinancing. I have borrowings against my PPOR only for investment purposes, it was debt free before I began investing.

    May actually be a confirmation of a problem.

    ATO reviews property B. Interest deduction is $1100. They think its miscalulated and looks too high. You cant actually indicate the degree to which is wrong and of course it could affect another property. Maybe. The ATO start to frown and think its really all too confusing due to contant changes to each offet and you didnt use the methodology in the previously noted ruling. So they cancel that deduction due to a apportionmnet concern and inability to provde every single use of all borrowed funds from day one all the way through. . And the other uses as well.

    I would argue a multiple offset blended loan is far worse then a blended purpose where there are just two different uses. Offsets tend to become like a pureed fruit cocktail and you want to drink the strawberry part only then the orange bit then the passionfruit.
