The right loan structure makes all the difference.

Investment property financing isn't just about rate. It's about structure, tax efficiency, and positioning yourself to buy again. We think beyond the first property.

How it works: step by step

1

Investment Strategy Session

We discuss your investment goals, current financial position, and how property fits into your wealth strategy. This shapes how we structure your loan.

2

Equity & Borrowing Assessment

We calculate your usable equity, borrowing capacity, and optimal loan structure across your entire portfolio, not just this one loan.

3

Lender Selection

Not all lenders treat investors equally. We select from our panel based on their investor-specific policies, rates, and assessment methods.

4

Structuring for Tax Efficiency

We structure the loan to maximise deductibility and keep investment and personal debt clearly separated. Work closely with your accountant on this step.

5

Approval & Settlement

We manage approval and settlement, coordinating with your accountant, buyer's agent, and conveyancer as required.

Eligibility at a glance

Eligibility varies by lender. Don't let these criteria put you off: we often find solutions that aren't obvious upfront.

  • Sufficient equity or savings for deposit (typically 10–20%)
  • Stable income with demonstrated ability to service both owner-occupier and investment loans
  • Clean credit history
  • Investment property in an acceptable location and condition
  • SMSF borrowers require additional documentation and a corporate trustee

Common questions

Should I use equity from my home as the investment deposit?

Using home equity is a popular strategy and avoids needing to save a separate cash deposit. However, it increases the debt against your home and changes the loan structure. We'll show you both approaches and which suits your situation.

Is interest-only better for investment loans?

Interest-only payments reduce your cash outflow (important for negatively geared properties) and keep your loan interest fully deductible. However, you're not building equity as quickly. The right answer depends on your cash flow, tax position, and investment goals. Discuss with your accountant.

Can I have multiple investment loans?

Yes. Many of our clients own 2–5 investment properties. We structure each loan optimally and ensure the overall portfolio is in good shape for when you want to buy property number 3, 4, or 5.
