The home buying process

Our Home Loan Check In

ANZ Home Loan Coaches can help you structure the loans on your investment properties to suit your individual circumstances.  

The Home Loan Check In is free, there is no obligation, and it will only take about 15 minutes. Our coaches are happy to talk to you over the phone or in person, whatever suits you.  

Using existing equity to purchase an investment property

Equity is the difference between a property’s value and the amount you owe on it. If you sold your property and repaid your home loan, your equity would be the amount you have left.

For example if you have a house worth $400,000 with a $100,000 home loan, you have $300,000 of equity in the property.

You may be able to use the equity in your existing home to buy an investment property.



Things to consider before investing in property

Unlike buying a house to live in, there are a number of tax implications when it comes to investing in property that you should consider as this could impact your investment strategy, or the types of properties you choose to invest in.

See the Inland Revenue Department website and search for ‘property’ for information about tax implications when investing in property. We recommend you seek independent advice from your accountant, tax advisor, or other advisor to help you determine how tax implications can affect your investment.
