What are the benefits of investing in property?

Rental income
Purchase an investment property and lease it to receive ongoing, regular income from rent.
Capital gains
Buy a property as an investment and you could benefit from a gain in capital if you sell for more than what you paid.
Tax benefits
Save tax with negative gearing if your interest repayments and outgoings are higher than your rental income.
Usable equity
Borrow up to 90% of the equity gained when your home increases in value and use it to purchase other properties.

Fixed rate home loan: The Bank will apply the fixed rate that is available at the loan settlement date or the date the fixed rate period commences, unless the customer locks a fixed rate in on the loan using our Rate Lock feature. The Rate Lock fee is 0.15% of the loan amount or $500, whichever is higher, capped at $1000 for loans up to $2 mil. For loans above $2mil, the Rate Lock fee is 0.15% of the loan amount. At the end of the fixed rate period the interest rate will convert to the applicable variable interest rate.
