What Is an Investment Property Loan?
An investment property loan is designed for properties purchased with the intention of generating income through rent and potential capital growth.
These loans often differ from owner-occupied loans in terms of:
- Interest rates
- Deposit requirements
- Lending policies
- Loan structures
