Everything you need to know about investment home loans
Home loans for investment property work a little different to your average mortgage
AI summary
Securing an investment home loan differs from a standard mortgage, often requiring a 30% deposit. You can fund this by leveraging equity from an existing home, using a non-bank lender, or buying a new build, which may only need a 20% deposit.
Align your loan with your strategy, whether it's a long-term buy and hold or a riskier buy and flip. Interest-only mortgages are an option but carry risks. It is vital to compare lenders, get pre-approval, and seek expert advice.
