A lot of people think investing in shares requires cash.
In reality, a lot of investors use equity.
If youâve built up equity in your home, you may be able to release funds for investment, often by setting up a separate loan split specifically for that purpose.
Done properly, you might also be able to convert non-deductible debt into investment debt, which may be tax-deductible.
Structuring the loan correctly is hugely important though!
Mixing personal and investment debt, or using the wrong loan setup, can create issues down the track.
Thereâs also risk:
Youâre increasing your debt, and investing into a volatile asset class.
But for investors with a long-term view and the right structure, it can be a powerful strategy.
If you want to understand how it works in practice, happy to run through it.
