Made for property investors, the Flexi First Option Investment Loan from Westpac comes with competitive variable rates (and an even lower introductory rate), next to no fees and some useful features like extra repayments, redraws and the option of taking a repayment holiday.
Westpac’s Flexi First Option Investment Loan is only available to investors, though it caters to those wanting to make principal and interest or interest-only repayments. There’s a minimum loan size of $25,000 and a variety of variable rate tiers which differ based on the borrowers loan-to-value ratio (LVR) and repayment preferences.
The lowest ongoing rate is currently 3.09% (3.10% comparison rate*) for borrowers with an LVR under 70% who are willing to make principal and interest repayments, though there’s also an opportunity to grab an introductory rate offer as low as 2.49% for 24 months.
As the name suggests, there’s a fair bit of flexibility on offer with the loan, starting with the repayment frequency borrowers can choose: either weekly, fortnightly or monthly depending on their preference. There is also an option to take a repayment holiday.
In terms of other features, there’s a split account option if you want to hedge your bets by fixing part of your rate with a Westpac fixed rate loan, and borrowers can also make extra repayments and redraws.
One of the best aspects of the loan is the lack of fees. There are no upfront or ongoing fees to budget for, just the $350 discharge fee you’ll need to pay at the end of your loan.
Last but not least, refinancers may be keen to know that the Flexi First Option Investment Loan also comes with a cashback deal of $2,000 per property plus $1,000 for the first application. The offer is for eligible mortgage holders looking to refinance a loan of at least $250,000 (max. 80% LVR) who apply by 31 August 2021 and settle by 30 November 2021.
There’s plenty going for the Flexi First Option Investment Loan - from the competitive variable rates to the low number of fees - so it could be an option worth considering for a variety of investor borrowers.
There’s no offset account attached to the loan, which may be an essential feature for many borrowers.
