Could not rate Renee and her team more highly. Throughout the entire process they were consistent with communication – returning calls within minutes, texting and emailing where necessary, explaining things in detail if needed and guiding us through the buying process with confidence. Stunned at how straight forward and simple they managed to make our more complicated case. Amazing!

Calculators for investment loans

Understand your investment loan numbers

Thinking about buying an investment property? It’s normal to have questions like: “How much can I borrow?”,
What will my repayments look like?” and “What costs do I need to factor in?

A great place to start is with these simple, easy-to-use calculators:

Your finance questions answered

What deposit do I need, and can I use equity from my home?

Most lenders require a deposit of at least 10-15% of the property’s purchase price for an investment loan. However, if you already own a home, you may be able to use the available equity as your deposit instead of cash. This can allow you to invest without needing to save a large lump sum upfront. RD Finance Solutions can help you calculate your usable equity and structure the loan accordingly.

Is it better to buy established or build new?

Both options have pros and cons. Established properties may offer better locations, immediate rental income, and capital growth potential, while new builds can provide higher depreciation benefits, lower maintenance costs, and modern appeal for tenants. The right choice depends on your investment goals, budget, and risk appetite.

What are the tax benefits of owning an investment property?

Owning an investment property can offer several tax benefits. You may be able to claim deductions on expenses such as loan interest, property management fees, maintenance costs, insurance, and depreciation on the building and fittings. If the property is negatively geared (costs more to hold than it earns), the loss can often be used to reduce your taxable income. It’s important to consult a qualified accountant to ensure you’re maximising your entitlements and complying with current tax laws.

Should I choose interest-only or principal-and-interest repayments?

Interest-only repayments can help maximise cash flow in the short term. However, principal-and-interest repayments reduce your loan balance over time, helping you build equity and pay less interest in the long run. The best option depends on your investment strategy, cash flow needs, and long-term goals. We can help you compare both structures to find the right fit for your situation.
