Things to think about before investing in property

Whether it’s your first property or you’re a real estate guru, consider the pros and cons and crunch the numbers before investing in property.

  • Your investment goals: After passive income through rent? Long-term capital growth? Consider how an investment property could fit into your investment plan or chat with a financial advisor.

  • Property research: Look at recent sales data or speak to local real estate agents to get an idea of property prices, rental yields, and vacancy rates.

  • Consider the costs: There are additional costs for an investment property including property management fees, agents fees, repairs, and other landlord costs. Chat with your accountant to understand what expenses you can claim or offset.

Calculate your borrowing power

How much can I borrow?

Let’s crunch the numbers. Just input your income and expenses, and our borrowing calculator will estimate how much you could borrow and what the repayments would be.

Important: The estimated amount you could potentially borrow is a guide only. This calculator doesn’t take into account your individual circumstances. The interest rate applied is the current interest rate for a ubank home loan with principal and interest payments and varies depending on the product you have selected. This calculator assumes principal and interest repayments. Rates and repayments are indicative only and subject to change. If you proceed with a home loan application we’ll ask you to provide further details of your income and expenses. If you want to know more, check out ‘Additional calculator information’ below. Refer to ‘Lets pass the mic to our lawyer’ for important information on our Comparison rates.
