Buying an investment property in Melbourne involves more complexity than a standard owner-occupier purchase. Lenders assess investment loans differently, taking into account your income, existing debts, rental income and living expenses. At Lifestyle Loans, we help investors understand their borrowing power and compare options across 60+ lenders. Some specialist lenders assess income and rental differently, which may increase your borrowing power (subject to eligibility and lender policy), and we help you structure investment finance around your goals.
The right loan structure matters for investors. Interest-only repayments can reduce monthly outgoings during the interest-only period, which suits some investment strategies. Principal-and-interest repayments build equity in the property over time. Split loans allow you to fix a portion of your rate while keeping some flexibility. We help you understand the trade-offs and find a structure that fits your cash flow and long-term plans. For advice on tax implications, speak with your accountant.
Whether you are buying your first investment property or adding to an existing portfolio, understanding your upfront costs is important. Stamp duty, deposit requirements, lender fees and other purchase costs all need to be factored in. Use our Funds to Complete Calculator and Stamp Duty Calculator to model your numbers, then book a call to discuss your investment lending options with our team.
