@financial.leigh: The Hokey Pokey Strategy, aka debt recycling. 🕺 In this example, the homeowner has: • A $4 million home loan • $4 million in available cash • A 6% interest rate That means $240,000 per year in interest. Instead of investing the cash directly, the homeowner uses it to pay down the non-deductible home loan, redraws the money through a properly structured investment loan, then uses those funds to purchase income-producing shares. The result? The debt is still $4 million, but the interest may now be tax deductible. 🧾 This strategy isn’t only for people casually finding $4 million behind the couch. Whether your home loan is $400,000 or $4 million, if you have a home loan, available cash and you’re already planning to invest, debt recycling may allow you to progressively convert non-deductible home debt into tax-deductible investment debt. You put the money in, you take the money out, you purchase the shares, and turn the tax treatment around. And that’s what it’s all about. 🪩 The loan structure, movement of funds and investment purpose all matter, so obtain appropriate tax and financial advice before implementing the strategy. #debtrecycling #mortgagestrategy #propertyfinance #financehumour #australianproperty

The purpose is for the shares, a new investment and is subject to carried forward losses/ gains until point of sale and not a yearly deduction under new rulings?. While if the house was an investment it’s a grand fathered ruling

Harry Dell Tax Lawyer :
now do:
- buy investment property in a unit trust
- redraw on home loan and loan it to trust
- full negative gearing preserved.

But that’s just the same as paying off your mortgage with the cash and then getting an investment loan to buy shares. That’s not anything special.

Is this the same as paying off your home loan then taking out a margin loan for the shares that’s secured against your home?

This is debt recycling. Nothing new. Do note Labor and the greens are absolutely about to ban this as well.
