Is an investment property worthwhile?
How is a fixed investment local different?
Choosing between the two main types of mortgages – variable rate and fixed rate – can be a tough decision. Both kinds of loans can have their advantages, and at Mortgage House we have a range of both options for those buying an investment property. A variable rate loan means the interest rates can move up or down over the life of the loan, depending on a number of internal and external factors. Any movement from the Reserve Bank on the official cash rate is perhaps the biggest influencer on variable interest rates. Fixed rate mortgages, such as our 4 Years Fixed Investment Mortgage, have interest rates that are fixed over an agreed period of time. Most banks or lenders can offer fixed terms of between 1 and 10 years. Over that term, your interest rates will not move, no matter what happens with the Reserve Bank or in the wider national or international economy. At the end of that fixed term, you can negotiate another fixed period, or have your loan become a standard variable mortgage.
What are the benefits of using a fixed term loan to buy my investment property?
Fixed term mortgages such as our 4 Years Fixed Investment Mortgage can have a number of benefits for those purchasing an investment property. Perhaps the largest benefit is stability. Having the knowledge of knowing exactly what your repayments will be each month, combined with the security of your regular rental income, can give you real peace of mind. It can help you budget with confidence and give you the reassurance of knowing that during the agreed term, your repayments will not rise. That kind of predictability can be an important part of any investment strategy.
What are the main features of this fixed rate home loan?
Our 4 Years Fixed Investment Mortgage comes with plenty of features that can offer both flexibility and stability. A key feature is the option to include a 100% offset facility with the loan. An offset option allows you to offset the balance of a non-interest account against your loan, to reduce the amount of interest payable. Over time these savings can really add up. Another key feature is the ability to access, or redraw, any additional principal payments or lump sums you have made. Our 4 Years Fixed Investment Mortgage also comes with the flexibility, therefore, of being able to make extra payments without attracting penalties. Some fixed term mortgages don’t include these kinds of features, but at Mortgage House, our fundamental goal is to provide an accessible service that allows more Australians to secure their property ownership dreams.
Do I need to wait for a loan offer to make an offer on an investment property?
Sellers of an investment property will require you to be at least pre-approved before even considering your offer, but it is important to make sure you have a loan offer from a bank or a lender before putting in an offer on an investment property. And it is important to understand that there is a difference between the two. Pre-approval means that a bank or lender has done a quick check on your ability to service a loan, including our 4 Years Fixed Investment Mortgage. We will initially do a credit check, so it always pays to understand what your credit rating is and if you have defaulted on any loans. You will also need to document the income you expect to get from your investment property, as well as the operating expenses, taxes and the budget you have set aside for maintenance. However, pre-approval is not binding and can’t be used to make an offer on a property. Before you make an offer on a property, you will need to get a full or unconditional approval. This involves completing a home loan application and providing all the necessary supporting documentation. You should consult with your solicitor or conveyancer before submitting an offer on any property, and speak with us about the full details of loan offers.
