Im not really sure what the benefits of splitting your loan are, apart from being able to have 1 interest rate fixed and 1 variable.
To my knowledge the best thing for you to do if your planning on buying an investment property, would be to setup up your current loan with an offset account, and store the 'investment' money in the offset account, so your saving on interest.
Then when it comes time to get the investment property take out another loan for the investment property, so you can seperate your good debt from your bad debt. Have this loan set to interest only so you can maximise your repayments on your original loan.
This way you've;
1. Got easy access to your money, as its in the offset account.
2. Cleary seperate your bad debt, from your good debt.
3. Maximised your repayments on your PPOR
4. Made the most of your tax benefits on your IP.
