Investment Property Loan
Property investing with a steady strategy and the right structure. We’ll help you set up an investment property loan that supports cash flow now and your longer‑term goals.
What We Consider First for Your Investment Property Loan
Before we talk about lenders and products, we set a solid base. Think of it as checking our footing at base camp: a clear view of borrowing power, buffers and realistic rent.
This keeps the plan grounded and helps your numbers hold up as conditions change along the trail. Some of the things we look at include:
- Borrowing power, buffers and realistic rental assumptions
- Loan structure and ownership setup (we’ll work with your accountant)
- Cash‑flow impact of rates, fees and features
- Deposit, equity and LVR (including potential LMI)

Investment Property Loan FAQ
What’s the difference between an investment loan and an owner-occupier loan?
Investment loans are designed for properties you don’t live in, often with different interest rates and lending criteria. They may also offer features that support cash flow or tax benefits. We’ll help you weigh up the pros and cons for your situation.
Should I choose interest-only or principal & interest repayments?
This depends on your investment strategy. Interest-only repayments can maximise short-term cash flow, while principal & interest may reduce long-term debt faster. We’ll help you choose the right repayment structure based on your goals.
How much deposit do I need for an investment property?
Most lenders require a 10–20% deposit, but the higher your deposit, the more favourable your loan terms may be. We’ll also help you understand how equity from an existing property can be used in place of a cash deposit.
Can I use equity from my current home to invest?
Yes! If you have enough equity in your current property, it may be used to fund the deposit or full purchase of your next investment, without needing to sell. We’ll assess your position and guide you through this option.
Are there tax benefits with investment property home loans?
Investment loans can offer tax deductions on interest and expenses, but it’s important to get advice tailored to your situation. We’ll work alongside your accountant to ensure your loan structure supports your tax strategy.
