Owner-occupier home loans, as the name suggest is a type of home loan in which the borrower purchases a property intending to use it as a primary residence. Typically, owner-occupier home loans are used by individuals or families to buy a house or an apartment where they wish to live.

In an owner-occupier loan, lenders generally offer more favourable and competitive rates as they are considered lower risk. Also, you are required to live in your primary residence. If you move out of the property and rent it out to tenants, then you have to inform your lender, as the loan needs to be restructured as an investment loan.
