Our investment home loan lenders

“We wanted to purchase our first investment property but were unsure how or if we’d even be able to do so. Joel took the time to explain the entire process and showed us how to structure everything effectively. We were able to purchase our first investment property by accessing the equity in our home and didn’t need to touch any of our savings. We now have an investment property that’s performing well and has increased in value. Plus, the loan structure means that rental payments made by the tenants are helping to pay off our own mortgage that little bit faster. We’re looking forward to purchasing another in the near future.”

FAQs—Investment Home Loans

When applying for an investment home loan, you have two main options: interest-only and principal and interest home loans.

Interest-only loans delay the repayment of the borrowed amount (the ‘principal’) for a fixed term, usually three to five years. During this time, you only have to pay the interest on your loan, not the principal.

Principal and interest loan repayments include both the principal and interest in the repayments. This means you’re paying off the property, not just the interest.

The investment home loan process takes approximately 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the structure of your existing home loan and the lender we seek finance through. Documents you need to provide will depend on your personal circumstances and may include:
  • Bank statements
  • ID – driver’s licence, passport, birth certificate
  • Recent financial liability statements (e.g. home loans, credit cards)
  • Two most recent pay slips
  • If you’re self-employed – your last two years of personal and business tax returns and ATO assessments, including P&L statements.
  • Any details of the property you’re purchasing, if already known (e.g. a copy of the sale contract), and any rent appraisal

Having the right insurance is essential to protecting your assets. The main types of insurance we recommend for investment properties are:

  • Landlord insurance
  • Home and contents insurance

Depending on your circumstances, you may also need lenders mortgage insurance. We also recommend considering life insurance and income protection.

The main factor in this is usually supply and demand. It’s important that you have enough money in the bank to cover your investment home loan repayments if you’re tenant free for a few months.

To encourage renters, you can up your advertising, ensure your property is clean and well-maintained and consider allowing pets.
