What is an owner-occupied home loan?
An owner-occupied home loan (or live-in home loan), is a home loan to purchase a property to live-in. This is different to an investment home loan which is for a property that will be used as an investment, not to live in.
Should your circumstances change, you can easily change your investment loan into an owner-occupied loan. Our team is available to help over or on 1300 842 405.
What's the difference between an owner occupied property and an investment property
It’s simply the difference between whether you’re living in the property or not. If it’s where you are currently living, it’s considered owner-occupied, but if you’re intending to use your property as a source of income (through rental income or capital gains) and living in a different property it’s categorised as an investment.
How the property is used will determine what type of home loan you need (either owner-occupied or investment). Owner-occupied home loan rates tend to be lower than investment home loan rates.
Are owner occupied home loans cheaper?
Owner-occupied home loans tend to have lower interest rates than investment home loans because they’re generally seen as less risky than investor home loans.
Can I get an owner occupied loan for my investment property?
This is not possible. At the time of application, you’ll need to specify whether you’re planning to live in the property or not. If you’re planning to rent it out, you’ll need an investment home loan.
And if you decide to move into your investment property, you’ll need to change your investment home loan into an owner-occupied one.
Can I switch from an investment loan to owner-occupied?
If you’ve moved into your investment property you’re now considered an ‘owner-occupier’, so you’ll need to change to an owner-occupier home loan. If you’re already an existing customer, you can contact our post settlement team either by email or phone and we can help you switch over.
If you’re a new customer, you’ll need to refinance your home loan and apply for an owner-occupied home loan instead of an investment one.
Note: You don’t need to record your rental income for that property in the application.
How this borrowing calculator works
How do you calculate borrowing capacity
This borrowing calculator is a guide only, and gives you an estimate of how much you could borrow with Tiimely Home, based on the income and expenses you entered, our current Tiimely Own home loan interest rates and an assumed loan term of 30 years. It is not credit approval. You’ll still need at least a 10% deposit (and for deposits below 20% Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is applicable).
We’re responsible lenders, so we calculate your borrowing power using the higher of your estimated expenses and your HEM (Household Expenditure Measure – an Australian average expenditure benchmark). Find out more about borrowing power.
You’ll get a qualified assessment when you begin an application, and enter the specifics of the property, your loan type, personal details and your financials. Find out more about our eligibility criteria here.
Important information about our borrowing calculator
There are a lot of different factors that go into calculating how much you can borrow for a home loan. We’ve designed our borrowing calculator to be a faster and simpler way to get an estimated answer. Every lender has their own way of calculating borrowing power so you might get different results with other home loan calculators. Our home loan borrowing calculator takes into account the type of loan you’re applying for, your income, and your expenses to give you an idea of how much you can expect to be able to borrow.
