Investment Loan FAQ

Can you help me obtain a commercial property investment loan?

Yes. Commercial properties have a smaller loan term. So most commercial lenders only lend over 15 years. There’s a lot to consider. Newy finance is accredited with multiple lenders for commercial loans.

I own my own home and have a lot of equity in it. Do I need a cash deposit to purchase an investment property?

It’s always better to put up a cash deposit than to put up your family home as security.

If you used your family home as security and something was to go wrong with the investment market, or you miss repayments, your family home could possibly be repossessed.

Newy Finance strong recommends using a cash deposit instead of a security deposit.

What is an interest only loan and why would I use one to purchase an investment property?

Interest only loans means that your repayments are based only on the interest of the loan, and you don’t pay the principal down. For example, if you buy a property for $300,000, you’ll only ever owe $300,000.

Interest only loans may be used when an accountant advises that any extra repayments are used to pay off bad debt (i.e. owner occupied debt, credit cards) before you pay off your good debt (i.e. investment property). So your investment property is classed as good debt, allowing you to claim interest paid on your investment.

That’s one reason why people switch to interest only loans.
