What’s your property’s equity?
Understanding property finance 👉3
Welcome back to the Wealth Through Property series.
What is equity? Quite simply, equity is the difference between your loan and your property value. If your property is worth $500,000 and you have a $320,000 loan, the difference is $180,000 which is what you would theoretically get if you sold the property. This is what we call equity.
Since the banks won’t lend you 100% of a property’s value, you need to put down a deposit to secure your loan. Say you put down a 10% deposit of $50,000 on a $500,000 property. Your LVR limit will be 90% with an equity of $50,000. Should you decide to make a withdrawal on your mortgage later on, you will not be able to take out more than this 90% LVR limit.
