I’m coming off a 2 year fixed investment loan on a studio (35 sqm) apartment with CBA. Loan amount ~340k and property value ~600k (around 56% LVR).
I recall last year there were plenty of brokers on the main deals page with offers (including investment loans) but now they have seemed to have dried up.
I have called around various brokers and banks and it seems the best is $3k and minimums have gone up from 250k to 700k…
I don’t mind going through the hassle with discharge and refinancing with another lender. My fixed term finishes in mid-November, single, full time stable income, no dependents or issues with credit rating or repayment history etc. just looking for the best cash back.
I don’t mind dealing with a higher rate (so long as it’s under 7%) for the time being.
BOC does offer 4k cashback for min loan of 400K. You should be able to see the deal on ozbargin - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/802870#comment-14392977
Alternatively, other lender like ANZ and St george offer 2K for min loan of 250K
