How can I finance my real estate investment?

Financing options for real estate investments are tailored to meet specific investor needs and the type of property being purchased. Traditional financing includes mortgages provided by banks or credit unions, which require a down payment typically ranging from 20% to 25% for investment properties. Alternative financing options such as private lenders or specialised investment property loans may offer more flexible terms and higher leverage, depending on the investor's financial situation and risk tolerance.
