    Hi guys,
    Bought PPOR 3 years ago with FHOG. Moved out 18 months later and turned PPOR into IP that family members are now renting.
    Boyfriend and I are now renting and looking to buy a house together in the next few months.
    I originaly paid 17k extra on first mort with the idea of redrawing to purchase property with boyfriend. I now know that has serious tax implications on IP and now cannot redraw these funds.
    boyfriend and I looking at property around 280k and he has 10k in savings. Boyfriend and I not eligable for any FHOGs.
    How to buy 2nd property with little deposit?
    How to avoid LMI again?
    Do I start paying minium payment off IP and save the extra money?
    Any ideas thanks

    If you have equity in the existing home you would generally set up a second loan split on that and then use this as the deposit for the new one with the remainder coming from a new loan.
