FAQ's
An investment home loan is specifically designed for purchasing or refinancing residential investment properties intended for rental income or capital growth, rather than as a primary (owner-occupied) residence.
Investment loans often have higher interest rates and different lending criteria compared to owner-occupier loans, as some lenders view them as higher risk.
Yes, equity in your home can often be used as a deposit or to cover costs for your investment property, depending on your lender’s criteria.
Investment loans can typically be used for residential properties like houses, apartments, or townhouses. Certain lenders may also allow loans for commercial or mixed-use properties, though these are often classified as business loans.
Lenders usually require a deposit of at least 10–20% for investment properties. For deposits under 10%, Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) may apply. Actual deposit requirements depend on the property type, your financial situation, and the lender.
You may be eligible for tax benefits such as negative gearing or depreciation deductions. We always recommend consulting with a tax advisor to understand how these apply to you.
Rental income can increase your borrowing power as most lenders consider it additional income. However, potential vacancies are often factored into assessments.
These can include mortgage repayments, property management fees, maintenance, insurance, council rates, and utilities (if not covered by the tenant).
The right structure depends on your goals. Options include interest-only loans for cash flow or tax purposes or principal and interest loans for long-term equity growth.
Many lenders offer interest-only periods for investment loans, typically up to 5 years. Interest-only repayments can lower your repayments, but you won’t reduce the loan principal.
This depends on market conditions and your financial strategy. Fixed rates provide stability, while variable rates offer flexibility if interest rates fall.
Yes, refinancing can help you secure better rates or access equity. It’s essential to review the terms and potential costs involved.
Risks include property value fluctuations, rental market changes, unexpected expenses, and interest rate increases. A strong financial strategy helps mitigate these.
Lenders assess your ability to cover repayments assuming a level of vacancy (typically accepting 80% of the rental income). It’s vital to plan for potential vacancies or disruptions.
Regularly review your loan terms, keep track of market trends, and consider working with a property manager or financial advisor.
