Split Home Loans

These are simply two or more loans operating together. Splitting loans can be used to increase flexibility and /or reducing interest rate risk. The following is an example of a $200,000 loan split into different components.

Example 1:

$150000 Fixed interest rate and $50000 variable interest rate. Both loans are over the same property and the same term (say 25 years). Split to control the interest rate risk

Example 2:

$150000 Basic home loan (variable) and $50000 Line of Credit (variable). Split to reduce the overall interest rate cost as the basic home loan is usually .50%pa cheaper than the line of credit

Example 3:

$150,000 offset home loan (personal debt for buying the home) $50000. Offset home loan (for buying investments). Split to maximise interest deductibility for tax purposes on the investment component.
