Buying a Rental

Buying a second home can be exciting and daunting all at the same time.

There are some really important decisions to make when looking at purchasing your second home.

Should you use a different lender to offer a level of asset protection, or should you use the same lender because you would like to maximise your tax position?*

Buying your second home can arise from many different circumstances.

These may include:

• A rapidly growing family
• A want to buy a nicer home
• Starting a rental property portfolio
• To become closer to family or friends
• Facilitating a move to a different city
• To purchase a property for a friend or family member
• Downsizing after family have flown the coup or for retirement
• To down size after family have flown the coup or for retirement

Your reason for purchasing a second home could be one or more of the above reasons, it could also be for a reason that is not mentioned above. There are many factors to look into when buying your second home.

Purchasing a second home can raise many questions, such as:

• Do you want to simply upgrade or turn your existing home into a rental property?
• Do I have enough equity in my existing home to purchase a second home?
• Will I have to add part or all of my savings to purchase a second home?
• Can you afford the new mortgage repayments?
• Do I want to stay with the same lender?
