    Yes - indirectly

    you can't use equity. all you can do is to borrow against a property with equity. if you were able to borrow say 10% of a purchase from secured against property A, you could buy property B but might need to borrow 90% and incur LMI. So you could introduce property C, owned by a parent as additional security, and avoid LMI and have enough for the stamp duty as well

    So it is possible to use two separate properties?

    Yes ..can be done so it limits the guarantors liability.
