Introductory period

loans.com.au Expat Home Loan is a 5 year introductory rate loan. An introductory rate is a special interest rate discount offered for the first year of your home loan, allowing you to get a headstart on your repayments.

Tips: Many lenders give you a cheaper rate in the first year as a carrot, then revert your rate to the Bank Standard Variable Rate and then refuse to give you a discount. This is the major problem with introductory rates, don't get caught out, ask your lender about discounts after the introductory rate has expired!

Repayment options

Interest only loans have traditionally been tailored to investors so they can reduce their mortgage repayments and maximise their tax benefits and overall return on investment (ROI). However, getting home loan with interest only (IO) has its place and some lenders are willing to consider your application if you can provide valid reasons.

Tips: To get approved for an interest only home loan you need to have a strong enough income to afford principal and interest (P&I) repayments once your interest only term expires. Sometimes extending your interest only period can be tough and getting approved for a P&I refinance is a lot easier.
