Overview

Investment loans are specifically designed for property investors looking to build their portfolio. These loans typically have different interest rates and lending criteria compared to owner-occupied mortgages.

Lenders assess investment loans based on the property's potential rental income and capital growth, allowing savvy investors to leverage equity from existing properties to expand their real estate holdings. With the right investment loan structure, you can maximize tax benefits while creating long-term wealth through property.

Loan options
