What you need for an investment property loan application

You will usually need a higher deposit than you would for an owner-occupied loan. If you have equity (total or partial ownership) in your residential home, you can use that equity as your deposit on an investment property loan. The policies of different lenders varies, but each will have a maximum loan-to-value ratio (LVR) that they are prepared to accept for an investment property loan.

The LVR is the amount of the loan expressed as a percentage of the value of the property. For example, if you want to borrow $480,000 for an investment property worth $600,000, your LVR would be 80% (i.e. $480,000 divided by $600,000). If this percentage falls within the lender’s maximum LVR and you can demonstrate that you can afford your repayments, your investment Home Mortgage Loans Newcastle should be approved.

Interest-only investment property loans

As the name suggests, interest-only investment property loans only require you to repay interest on the amount you borrow. The main benefit of an interest-only loan is that it has low repayments, so taking one out can allow you to buy an investment property sooner.  An interest-only loan can also help you to afford a more expensive investment property.

Interest-only loans are available for terms of up to five years. After that time, you can apply to take out another interest-only loan, or your loan will usually revert to a standard principal and interest loan.

Principal and interest investment property loans

A principal and interest investment property loan has higher repayments than an interest-only loan because you’re repaying back the amount you borrowed (the principal) plus interest. Each repayment you make reduces the total amount you owe.
