🏡 Good News: Your Borrowing Power Might Be Bigger Than You Think 🏡
Lenders have made several policy updates recently that could mean more borrowing capacity for home buyers, investors, and those looking to refinance:
✅ More rental income now counts — some lenders have increased how much rental income can be used toward loan servicing, which is great news for property investors and SMSF buyers
✅ Broader income recognition — health insurance and other expenses are being factored in more favourably, and select essential-service and frontline workers can now use more of their overtime income toward servicing
✅ More flexibility for everyday expenses — some lending criteria around living costs and savings requirements have also been eased
What does this mean for you? If you were told "not quite" on a loan application in the past, it might be worth taking another look — the numbers could stack up differently now.
