LVR options

LVR is an acronym for Loan-To-Value Ratio. The LVR is the amount you are borrowing against the property value being used as security, represented as a percentage.

An LVR of 90% is a high risk, whereas an LVR of 80% or less is considered safe by most lenders. The majority of lenders will require you to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) if you borrow over 80% LVR.

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.
