π°π‘ Same Salary, Different Borrowing Power. Why?
Did you know that two people earning exactly the same salary could qualify for very different home loan amounts?
Hereβs why! π
Lenders donβt look at your income alone. They may also consider:
β
Your living expenses
β
Existing loans and credit card limits
β
Number of dependants
β
Employment type and income stability
β
Credit history
β
The lenderβs assessment criteria and interest rate buffers
Thatβs why your borrowing capacity isnβt simply a multiple of your annual salary. Sometimes, small differences in your financial situation can make a significant difference to how much you can borrow.
π‘ Planning to buy your first home or your next investment property?
Before you start house hunting, understand your borrowing position, explore your options and plan with confidence.
