    They are all going up.....but depends on LVR....IO or P&I etc and what you need.

    I'd rather pay 3%, but that doesn't mean I am going to get it.

    Investment loan? interest Only?

    So do I

    If you find a way with high LVR and IO and all the bells and whistles, post it here.

    Wait for a few months, more increases, then a few more months after that......you guessed it, in our pockets again ! Rascals.....(even Scott Morrison has said do not do it, maybe he will tax them more, what do you think?)

    You are unlikely to get 4% for investments, generally speaking. That said, it's highly likely you can do better, especially if your LVR is less than 80%. Even if it's not, you could fix the rate with CBA for quite a bit less than that.

    I might try and get a loan from Japan, they are in negative, do you know if they will pay me or the rate they get for IO investment ?

    Yeah, imagine that, a loan you get paid for :D I do wonder if you can get money from some of these countries though, I wonder if HSBC would help if you were a HK citizen now in AU



    250k 25 year loan

    IO 5.3 1104
    PI 4.0 1320

    On 30 year even better

    PI 4.0 1194

    Shopping for a loan isnt quite the same as shopping for say a car.

    The CBA loan will be pretty much the same in most cicumstances.

    i guess what you are suggesting is that a loan is a loan, and in many scenarios thats quite right, but many times comparing isnt that simple

    If you are resident and working in Japan Aussie banks will lend for property here at Japanese rates.

    I've recently been calling the different banks and it seems like majority of interest only loans and around 80 LVR seems to be around the high 4s at the moment. Tried to negotiate one of my NAB variable loans from 4.58% to 4.3% but was advised that this was even better than what they are currently offering and even a fixed loan was around 4.44% for 3 years.

    @jins13 if you're on 4.58% interest only investment loan, you are on a good deal with any of the Big 4. The NAB isn't always the cheapest of the Big 4, but I've found that they're consistently the most competitive and most willing to renegotiate rates with existing customers.

    There are second tier lenders that are cheaper right now, but they're also more difficult to qualify for.

    Thank you and no amount of threatening changed the % at all ha ha. I was fortunate that I have another loan with them fixed at 3.89% for three years/
