Interest only keeps repayments lower, which helps cash flow, especially now that losses on established properties can't be offset against your wages.

The trade-off is that you're not reducing the debt, the rate is often higher, and interest-only periods usually end after 5 years or so.

The right choice depends on your other debts, your plans for the property and how you want to use your cash.

Equity is the difference between your property’s market value and what you still owe on the loan.

Let's map out a scenario:
– Property value = $800,000
– Loan balance = $500,000
– Equity = $300,000

Equity can be a powerful tool to:
– Fund renovations
– Refinance for a better rate
– Buy an investment property

With reports floating around that homebuyers now need to save up to $100k more for their deposit (than four years ago), we figure it's time to share this reminder:

📣You don't necessarily need a 20% deposit to buy your first home📣

There are other ways to get your foot in the door, including:
– Accepting a cash gift (usually from your parents)
– Being in a profession where banks waive LMI
– Taking up lenders mortgage insurance
– Asking family to go guarantor

Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) gets a bad rap.

And yes while no one wants to pay an extra insurance (that protects the bank, no less), it can be difference between getting into the property market now vs much later.

We'll definitely look at ways you can avoid paying this insurance, but as far as your long term property strategy goes, paying LMI may end up being in your best interests.

The RBA have decided to increase the cash rate by 25 basis points. It’s now sitting at a 15 year high of 4.6%.

The banks will likely pass this increase on to borrowers, and we know it all adds up.

On a $750k home loan, for instance (assuming a standard 30 year principal and interest term), jumping from a 6.5% interest rate to a 6.75% interest rate would increase your monthly repayments by $124.

If you’re feeling the squeeze, or just want to find out if there’s a better solution for you, get in touch with us to find out the most up-to-date options.

A better solution may be just a phone call away!

If you're thinking about investing in property, you may have come across the term 'cross-collateralisation'.

What it means is that you use more than one property as security for your mortgage, instead of the usual one property (i.e. the property that you're buying).

What this could look like, as an example, is if you owned your $1M home outright (congratulations!) and you wanted to buy a $500k investment property, but didn't have the 20% cash deposit, you could offer your $1M home as security.

This would mean you'd be borrowing $500k and that this loan would be secured against two properties worth $1.5M in total, meaning you wouldn't need to pay lenders mortgage insurance.

Like anything, there are pros and cons to this approach. Get in touch for help understanding the risks and how to optimise your lending products.
