How I Help Property Investors

Investment lending is more nuanced than a standard home loan. The way your loans are structured can have a massive impact on your tax position, borrowing capacity, and long-term wealth. I work with investors at every stage — from first-time landlords to experienced portfolio builders — to make sure the lending side is set up properly from day one.

Equity and Portfolio Strategy

One of the most powerful tools in property investing is equity — the difference between what your property is worth and what you owe. If your home or existing investment has grown in value, you may be able to use that equity as a deposit for your next purchase without saving a cent. I'll help you understand how much usable equity you have, which lenders are most favourable for equity releases, and how to structure things so your portfolio can keep growing.

Loan Structuring Tips for Investors

Smart structuring is the difference between a good investment and a great one. Here are a few principles I work with:

Keep investment debt separate from personal debt — cross-collateralisation can limit your flexibility

Interest-only repayments can improve cash flow, but they're not right for every situation

An offset account against your owner-occupied loan (not your investment loan) is usually more tax-effective

Get a proper valuation before assuming your equity position — I can arrange this through my lender panel

50+ Lenders, One Broker

I compare options across a panel of over 50 lenders — including the big four banks, credit unions, and specialist lenders. That means you get the most competitive deal for your situation, not just whatever one bank happens to offer. And my service is free for most residential loans.

FAQ

Investment Property Loans Questions

Common questions I get from clients about investment property loans. If yours isn't here, just ask.

How much deposit do I need for an investment property?
Most lenders require a minimum 10% deposit for investment loans, though 20% will help you avoid LMI and access better rates. If you have equity in an existing property, you may not need any cash savings at all — I can help you work out what's available.
Should I choose interest-only or principal and interest?
It depends on your strategy. Interest-only keeps your repayments lower and your cash flow stronger, which suits many investors — especially if the property is negatively geared. But principal and interest builds equity faster. I'll help you weigh up what makes sense for your specific situation.
Can I use equity from my home to buy an investment property?
Yes, and it's one of the most common ways people get into property investing. If your home has increased in value, you can access that equity as a deposit — often without touching your savings. I'll check your equity position and show you exactly what's possible.
Is it harder to get approved for an investment loan?
Lenders do apply stricter criteria to investment loans — including higher interest rate buffers and tighter income assessments. But with the right lender and the right structure, most investors can get approved. That's where my experience and 50+ lender panel come in.
