Residential Home Loans (Regulated)

These loans are borrowed for wholly or predominantly personal purposes.  Eg. To purchase an Owner-occupied home or to refinance an Owner-occupied home.   Equity permitting, a borrower may choose to borrow extra funds for a motor vehicle or household improvements etc.  The customer is protected by UCCC (Unified Consumer Credit Code)
http://www.creditcode.gov.au/  and the borrowings are not tax deductible.

Residential Investment Loans (Unregulated)

These loans are wholly or predominantly for investment purposes.  Eg. To purchase a residential investment property or refinance a residential investment property.  Equity permitting, the borrower may choose to borrow extra funds for improvements to the investment property.  You can use your Owner-occupied property to borrow for investment purposes.  Typically, the borrower would be using their own home to provide extra security to borrow 100% of the purchase price plus costs of a new investment property.  A borrower may also use the equity in their Owner-occupied property for other investments such as shares.  The customer is not protected by UCCC, however, the borrowings are tax deductible.

Low Documentation Loans

Self Employed and PAYG customers who can show stability in their employment situation and do not have available tax returns can borrow under a low doc policy.  Many lenders offer this facility and the rates are getting more competitive every year.  If  the customer has equity in property or can prove they have access to funds, they can borrow up to 80% of the value of the residential security property.  These loans and the security must be in personal names.  No Guarantees are allowed under any circumstances.  These loans can be regulated or unregulated.  This policy does not include first home buyers.

Existing repayment history, credit history and proven assets all contribute to determining how competitive your low doc loan will be.

No Documentation Loans

Customers can borrow up to 75% of the value of their residential property if they are self employed, with no questions asked.  These loans can be short or long term.  Interest Rates are high and fees can be quite high also, so these loans are the last option that InterPrac might offer.

Non Conforming Loans

Customers with poor credit histories, including ex bankrupts, poor current repayment histories, current defaults and judgments, can obtain finance through InterPrac Finance.  Non Conforming loans are among the fastest growing markets in the industry.  Non Conforming lenders will also help clients who have equity to start up their business and also help out those purchasing a residential property without any deposit, including purchase costs.  Remember, the only customers InterPrac Finances Services Pty Ltd can’t help are those who are currently bankrupt or unemployed.

Standard Variable Loan

This type of product often has low ongoing fees and low (if any) early repayment fees.  Standard Variable loans can be part of a split facility, redraw is usually available and minimal loan amounts are accepted under this product.  They are often a good idea for individuals who plan to repay the loan in full over a short term.

Basic Variable Loans

This product has similar features to the Standard Variable Loan.  The interest rate is usually set at a discounted interest rate (often 0.5% lower than the standard variable rate).  The lender will often charge a fee for redraw (if available) and early repayment fee is often enforced if the loan is paid out within the first 3 years.  Lenders do not generally attach interest reducing accounts to the Basic Variable product. The Basic Variable loan is an excellent product for individuals paying their loans over the long term.

Fixed Loans

This product offers the client security in knowing their repayments for a chosen fixed term.  Many clients choose to partially fix their loans to take advantage of some portion of the loan being locked into a specific repayment, whilst allowing them to reduce the variable portion at a faster pace.  Most lenders will allow the customer to make some extra repayments on fixed loans.  Remember, a fixed loan is a two way agreement between you and the lender.  If you choose to pay out or switch the loan product before the fixed term is completed, you may be forced to pay a Break Cost up to the amount of interest charged on the remaining fixed term.   

Line of Credit

This product can significantly reduce the term of your loan and the overall interest charges if effectively managed.  The idea is that all of your income goes into this loan account saving you daily interest charges.  If you then use your credit card for household expenses (remembering to clear the credit card before you incur interest), then you are leaving more of your income in the loan account longer, saving you even more money on daily interest charges.  These accounts generally have full ATM, Cheque Book, Internet and Phone Banking options allowing you to access your money at any time.  This account will only be effective for individuals with a well thought out budget and the discipline to stick to that budget.
