HOME LOAN
Understanding investment home loan rates
Australia’s property market offers great opportunities, but choosing the right finance is vital. Investment home loan rates are typically higher than owner-occupier rates due to added risk and regulations. Knowing what drives your rate is key to maximizing ROI.
Risk assessment: Lenders assess investment loans differently, considering LVR, rental yield and your financial stability.
Rate type: Choose between variable (flexible, market-linked) and fixed (predictable, stable).
Investment premium: Expect a small rate margin above owner-occupier loans.
P&I vs. interest-only: Interest-only loans lower short-term costs but carry higher rates long term.

Key factors affecting investment loan rates
Your rate depends on your profile and market conditions. Focus on:
Credit score: A solid record earns better rates.
LVR: Lower LVR (under 80%) reduces lender risk and avoids LMI.
DTI ratio: Lower debt-to-income improves approval odds.
Loan features: Offset accounts or redraws add flexibility but can raise base rates slightly.
HeyNest brokers optimise your profile and compare hundreds of loans nationwide to find the best investment home loan rates for your goals.

Frequently asked questions
Are investment home loan rates tax-deductible?
Yes, the interest charged on a loan used to purchase a genuine investment property is typically tax-deductible against the rental income.
What is the minimum deposit needed for an investment loan?
The minimum is generally 10%, but a 20% deposit is highly recommended to avoid LMI and access lower interest rates.
Can I switch from an owner-occupier rate to an investment rate?
Yes, if you move out and rent the property, the loan purpose changes and the lender will typically adjust your rate to the current investment rate.
