I am looking into buying another house and renting out my current property.
When I saw the mortgage advisor he worked out how much I could borrow without a deposit for which I have 15k. (The money is being raised from equity within current prop).
He was suggesting keeping my deposit. Is there a good reason to do this? Why not just get the borrowing right down and thus the interest paid??
I would always keep some back for emergencies btw.
