Home Loans

Build your property portfolio

Whether you're buying your first investment property or expanding your portfolio, the right loan structure makes all the difference. We'll help you maximise borrowing power and optimise cash flow.

Portfolio growth

Structure your loans correctly to maximise borrowing capacity and build your portfolio faster.

Tax benefits

Investment loans can offer tax advantages. We'll help you structure your finances effectively.

Interest-only options

Improve cash flow with interest-only periods while your property (ideally) grows in value.

Equity leverage

Use equity in existing properties to fund deposits for new investments without touching savings.

Investment loan types

Different loan structures suit different strategies. We'll help you choose the right option for your situation.

Principal & Interest

Pay down the loan over time. Lower interest costs overall, builds equity faster.

Best for: Long-term investors, those wanting to reduce debt

Interest Only

Only pay interest for a set period (usually 1-5 years). Lower repayments, better cash flow.

Best for: Cash flow focus, tax deduction maximisation

Line of Credit

Flexible access to equity. Draw down and repay as needed, only pay interest on what you use.

Best for: Experienced investors, those needing flexibility

Fixed Rate

Lock in your rate for certainty. Protects against rate rises but less flexible.

Best for: Budget certainty, rate rise protection

Investment property considerations

  • Keep investment debt separate from personal debt
  • Consider cross-collateralisation implications

Deposit & equity

  • Typically need 10-20% deposit for investment loans
  • Can use equity from existing properties
  • LMI applies if borrowing more than 80% LVR

Cash flow

  • Factor in vacancy periods and maintenance costs
  • Consider interest rate buffer for rate rises
  • Rental income assessment varies by lender

Tax implications

  • Interest on investment loans is typically tax deductible
  • Negative gearing can offset other income
