If you’re planning to buy an investment property, your maximum borrowing capacity may not be what it was a few weeks ago.
Some lenders are now changing how they treat negative gearing in their servicing calculations. 🏦
They may no longer give you the same benefit for investment property tax deductions when working out how much you can afford to borrow.
This could impact:
💰 How much you can borrow
🏦 Which lender is right for you
📄 Whether your existing pre-approval still works
⏰ How quickly you need to act before signing a contract
This doesn’t mean investors should panic.
It does mean your strategy needs to be checked properly before you buy. 👀
