Just thought I would stop by to say I think that, although it might not have given the questioner the warm and fuzzy feeling of having someone else choose for them, this is a good answer. It's always difficult to answer the either or question! It's also hard to know what's going to happen at the moment because the events being experienced are not purely financial in nature. What is interesting to think about is that pricing in shares and property moves fast/slow, and pricing in shares is typically homogeneous. Anyway, just my 2c.

I believe you can also claim the interest rate on your offset loan (on your tax return) on any dividend income when purchasing shares using your offset account, so finding shares with decent dividends also helps. Paul may be able to clarify.

On the basis this is the only property, the real return (accounted for tax) on the offset account is basically after tax. Any return on shares would be subject to income tax. Whereas the interest "earned" in the off-set account is not subject to tax.
