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 requires a larger deposit than a standard mortgage, typically 30% for existing builds and 20% for new builds. You can leverage equity from your home or consider non-bank lenders to meet this.
Your loan should match your strategy, whether it's a long-term buy and hold or a short-term buy and flip. Options like interest-only mortgages can offer cash flow but carry risks. Compare lenders and seek expert advice before committing.
