Choosing the right home loan

Interest-only

In an interest-only period you just pay back interest on your loan. These loans also offer great tax advantages for investment properties.

Principal and interest loan

Every payment reduces principal and interest. At first, it’s mostly interest, but over time you start taking more off the principal.

Line of credit

This is like a big overdraft that uses your house as security. And you can even withdraw through ATMs! You pay interest on what you use, not the total credit limit, which helps if you’re renovating or investing in property or shares. Because the money is available 24/7 but you don’t pay interest on it until you use it.

It might be worth reading about tax considerations and depreciation and speaking to your adviser or financial planner before you make the final decision
