This depends on many different factors, such as your income and current living expenses and every lender has their own formula for calculating your borrowing power.

You can get an estimate of your borrowing power with Tiimely Home by using our borrowing calculator.

Investment loans also have comparison rates, and they’re used the same way as other home loan comparison rates: as a tool to more easily compare options from lender to lender. Tiimely Own home comparison rates are calculated for a $150,000 loan over 25 years. They factor in our fees associated with applying for the loan; our ongoing fees and our fees associated with leaving the loan.

Yes, equity is a powerful tool that can help you to build a profitable investment property portfolio.

The equity in your home can be used as an investment property deposit and if you have enough equity built up, you can borrow 80% of the property’s value without having to use your own cash.

How equity is calculated

Your accessible equity is the difference between your home’s current value and how much you owe on your home loan.

If you’ve lived in your home for five years or more, you’ve probably accumulated quite a bit of accessible equity.

But lenders will only lend up to 80% of your home’s current value minus your current mortgage. This is known as your useable equity, which is quite a bit less than your accessible equity.

It can still however, be a significant amount for an investment property deposit or any other use you may have such as renovating, investing in shares or managed funds or improving your lifestyle with a holiday or a new car.

Buying an investment property

All investments carry some level of risk, so it’s important to get professional financial advice to fully understand your options.

Calculate loan repayments with this home loan repayment calculator. It’s simple to use. Type in your current or potential loan amount, and enter the current or potential loan term. Select your loan purpose (live-in or investment), your rate type (variable or fixed) and your repayment type (principal and interest or interest only) and let the home loan payment calculator do the rest. We’ll show you the most appropriate Tiimely Own products based on your selection criteria, as well as your estimated home loan repayments. You can also use this as a home loan interest calculator — we’ll show you the total interest charged over the life of your loan, as well as the total repayments you’ll make over the life of the loan.

This home loan repayment calculator/mortgage repayment calculator is a guide only, and gives you an estimate of what your repayments will be with Tiimely home, based on the loan amount and loan term you entered, our current home loan interest rates and the loan variables you choose. You’ll still need at least a 10% deposit (and for deposits below 20% Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is applicable). The maximum term of interest-only loans is 25 years. You’ll get a real assessment when you begin an application, and enter the specifics of the property, your loan type, personal details and your financials. This is not credit approval.
