    Hi guys

    I really should know the answer to this. In fact I pontificated at the missus last night till half way thru my explanation we both realised I have no idea what I am talking about :( (harsh realisation, and rare to admit :) )

    OK, so we have an IP and borrowed $230,000 in a normal investment loan as our HDT. The balance of the purchase was paid by $60,000 from our LOC (as units in the HDT that owns the property).

    The property is now worth $390K and the bank (ie. the same one with the $230K) has graciously allowed us another $70K ish.

    So that $70K, when we receive it, what 'usually' happens ? :

    OPTION 1
    $230K - remains deductible
    $60K - units in HDT remain deductible (ie. we don't redeem them?)
    $70K - if used for further investment, will be deductible

    OR

    OPTION 2
    $230K - remains deductible
    $60K - units redeemed using part of the proceeds of the new $70K
    $10K - if used for further investment, will be deductible and the other $60K (now available from the redeemed units) if used for further investment, will be deductible

    OR

    ?

    I'm trying to picture what the usual sequence of events is in the "Navra" way of rolling the spare equity into the NI fund. I'm guessing Option 1 is the answer. But then ... I'm already having a bad day.

    Oh, and before anyone says 'talk to your accountant', NickM is my accountant but I've made a conscious decision to give him 2 full weeks without any communication from me. So I thought I might be able to get some community advice in the meantime ;-)

    Cheers and THANKS !
    Carl

    I'm only writing this in a selfish attempt to get the question above back in the New Posts. Sue me, its Sunday and I'm uncharacteristically sober ;-)

    EDIT - that's weird - it doesn't go in the New Posts :(

    Actually it does - for everyone else. You've already read it, so it no longer shows up for you in new posts. If you check Today's Posts, you should see it.

    Carl,
    I cannot possibly let you have another sleepless night. :)

    Option 1 seems to be on the money.

    OPtion 2 is the same as 1 except you then redeemed the units.

    If you decided to gear the $70K into Navra the interest would be tax deductible

    cheers

    Cheers
