AI summary
Banks generally require a 30% deposit for investment properties due to Reserve Bank LVR restrictions. However, there are several ways to purchase with a smaller deposit.
New builds are a key exception, often only needing a 20% deposit. Homeowners can also leverage usable equity from their existing property to fund the purchase.
For expert guidance, a mortgage broker can help navigate options across different lenders, including non-bank lenders who are not subject to LVR rules.
