Real Estate is easy to finance
Banks (and also non-bank lending institutions) are structured for residential property loans and often have a choice of loan products available to suit different investment styles in residential properties. They cater to individual purchases as well as portfolios and improvements to properties.
Because residential real estate is relatively non volatile and also does not depend on the skillset of the owner to increase it’s value, banks will consider it a safer risk and will lend up to 95% of the property’s value and usually at lower interest rates compared to commercial real estate or business loans. Also unlike business loans (where the business owner is the risk more than the actual business), no business plans, predictions, budgets, balance sheets, profit and loss statements, marketing or growth strategies are required to get a loan for residential real estate.
Anyone with an income and who can demonstrate affordability in paying back the loan, and with some equity or savings (for the other 5% - 10%), can get a loan for residential investment property. This is evidenced by the fact that there are more property investors in Australia than other asset classes, many businesses which have developed around servicing property investors, and a rapidly growing market of investment properties available for rent. Most of the housing available for rent in Australia is privately owned by investors with complete systems and explicit legislation in place for servicing those investments, the landlords and the tenants. This book is about these systems and legislation concerning the leasing of these investment properties.
