More and more property investors are searching for better deals on their investment loans following a series of rate increases over a 24 month period.
According to Canstar, in 2016 investor loans and owner-occupier loans had almost identical rates. Much has changed in 24 months. many lenders have increased interest rates for property investment purchases.
Did you know that a rate reduction of 0.30% on a loan of $600,000 could lead to a reduction of interest of up to $150 per month? That could be a savings of $1800 per year back into your pocket. Imagine the impact that these savings will make over the life of a 20-year loan.
The process of finding a better rate is called refinancing. As a borrower, you can call your lender and discuss a rate reduction with them. However, if they have increased rates it is likely you will not get the most competitive solution offered to you.
Comparing a range of options for a lower rate, or better product features can be done quite effortlessly with a mortgage broker.
