Property Investment FinanceProperty finance options for investment purposes are available to suit both long- and short-term property investment strategies. Whether you are seeking an investment for negative gearing, capital growth or retirement income, property finance options range from simple home loans to more complex loans that are allow you to manage tax, gearing, income and repayments. The most common property finance options utilised for investment are the same ones you would be familiar with for your primary residence, and include:
The property finance option you choose will depend on your investment goals and current financial position. Line of credit loanThe line of credit loan is one of the most common property finance options used by investors, particularly those investors who are planning on purchasing more than one property. With a line of credit, you can continually draw your loan up to a set limit (allowing for interest charges), without having to reapply for a new loan every time you wish to purchase property. Generally no formal repayments are required on a line of credit loan, as long as the total loan value including interest charges remains below the maximum credit limit you have negotiated with your lender. Interest-only loan repayment optionsIf your are investing in property with the aim of securing short to medium term gains through capital growth, making interest only repayments on your property finance facility may help to minimise ongoing costs and maximise your overall investment return. Cash Flow Manager LoansCash flow manager loans are a more specialised property finance option available to investors. A cash flow manager loan allows you to capitalise part or all of the interest and/or costs not covered by the rentals on your property for up to 7 years. In effect, the investment property purchase potentially becomes a cash-neutral investment, i.e. there could feasibly be no 'additional ' top-up payments being made for up to 7 years. And even at 7 years, you can potentially refinance and start the loan again. When considering this property finance product, it is important to understand that you are potentially relying on property capital gains and it is extremely important to seek advice not just from your mortgage broker but from your accountant as well.
