Hi All
New here and need some advise. I've searched the web and I can't find a clear answer which makes me think there isn't one so I thought I'd ask.
We have just brought our 2nd Home which we are moving in to. We are keeping our first home as a rental as it's in a high demand area in Chc. We are going to sell it to a LTC that my wife and I own 50/50 and the bank will give us 100% of it's value. We aren't after capital gains and negative gearing is not really what we are after as we want it to end up generating us an income when we are older.
I understand that things change and we might end up selling it.
My question is what's the best way to pay off this debt?
The rental house is valued at $360K, we owe $22K on it. The new house is $695K total debt is $717k. We have $3K per fortnight to service the debt.
What's the best way to structure this to pay it off the fastest?
Should we focus on paying off the family home while still eating in to the principle of the rental to maximise the tax benefits?
Should we split it down the middle as the debt will be roughly halved across both properties?
Should we focus on paying off the rental and getting it to generate an income?
Thanks for your time!
