Why Invest

Benefits of Property Investment

Property remains one of Australia's most popular and effective wealth-building strategies.

Capital Growth

Property values have historically doubled every 7–10 years in Australia's major markets.

Rental Income

Generate passive income while your tenant helps pay down your mortgage.

Tax Benefits

Negative gearing and depreciation can significantly reduce your taxable income.

Leverage

Use the bank's money to control a large asset with a smaller deposit.

Strategic Structuring for Investors

The right loan structure can make or break your investment strategy. We help you structure finance for maximum tax efficiency, flexibility, and portfolio growth.

  • Standalone securities – avoid cross-collateralisation risks
  • Separate lenders – diversify risk across your portfolio
  • Interest-only periods – maximise cashflow and deductions
  • Offset strategies – park cash against non-deductible debt first
  • Entity structuring – personal vs trust vs company ownership

Common Questions

Investment Loan FAQ

Answers to the questions we get asked most often about investment property finance.

Most lenders require 10–20% deposit for investment properties. Some lenders accept 10% with Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI), but 20% avoids the additional LMI cost and typically secures better interest rates. Using equity from an existing property can serve as your deposit.

Interest-only improves cashflow and maximises tax deductions but doesn't build equity. Principal & interest builds equity faster but has higher repayments. Your choice depends on your investment strategy, income situation, and portfolio goals. Many investors use interest-only for the first 5–10 years.

Yes, this is one of the most common strategies. We can help you release equity from your home (up to 80% LVR typically) to use as a deposit on your investment property. This allows you to invest without saving a separate cash deposit.

Cross-collateralisation links multiple properties as security for one loan. While it can help you borrow more, it limits flexibility, complicates future property sales, and gives the bank more control over your portfolio. We typically recommend standalone securities for each property to maintain flexibility.

Yes, investment loan rates are typically 0.2–0.5% higher than owner-occupied rates. Interest-only loans also attract a small premium. Despite the higher rates, property investment can still be highly profitable due to capital growth, rental income, and tax benefits. We'll find you the most competitive rates available.

Most lenders use 80% of expected rental income (called 'shading') when calculating your borrowing capacity. This accounts for potential vacancies and property expenses. Some specialist lenders use higher percentages, which can increase your borrowing power significantly.
