An investment home loan is a type of home loan designed for people looking to buy a property to generate income, build equity and access tax breaks. Investment loans are somewhat different to owner-occupied home loans, as the purpose of investment property is earning rental income, whereas the owner-occupied property are used as primary place of residence.
The benefits of investing in a property may vary depending on type of property you buy and what is the intended purpose of the investment. Some of the common benefits of property investment are,
- Capital Growth
- Earn Rental Income
- Tax benefits with Negative gearing, depreciation allowance
- Use your equity in your existing home as a deposit rather than a cash deposit to buy an investment property
- Stable investment, as property investment is considered less volatile compared to stocks
