In this mini episode of That Backyard Property Pod, Michael explains APRA’s newly introduced lending rules, focusing on a debt-to-income cap that limits banks to issuing no more than 20% of new loans to borrowers with a DTI of 6x or higher. They outline why the rule was introduced after record investor lending through 2024–2025, clarify that it’s a quota rather than a ban, and note key exemptions such as bridging loans for owner-occupiers and loans for purchasing or constructing new dwellings. The episode highlights who is most affected—multi-property investors, self-employed borrowers, and those planning aggressive growth in 2026—and shares five actions: calculate your DTI, speak to a broker early, consider non-bank lenders, use new-build exemptions, and reduce existing liabilities.General advice only and not personal advice.
