Investment loans.
Variable rate loan
As the name suggests, the interest rate can change over the life of the loan. This gives you flexibility, but can also leave you open to rate rises. These loans offer more flexible features like unlimited additional repayments, redraw, and offset accounts.
Fixed rate loan
Basically, this is the opposite of a variable rate loan. Your interest rate and repayments will stay the same during the fixed term, no matter what. So no surprises.
Split loan
You’re able to fix part of your loan, while leaving the rest variable.
Packaged loan
Professional packages offer discounts on standard variable and fixed rates, the waiving of fees, and in some cases, great deals on other products from the same lender. A packaged loan usually comes with one annual fee for the bundled products.
Introductory rate loan
Also known as ‘honeymoon’ loans, these offer a low interest rate for a short period (eg. a year), after which the rate moves to the standard variable rate.
Interest only loans
Also known as ‘honeymoon’ loans, these offer a low interest rate for a short period (eg. a year), after which the rate moves to the standard variable rate.

The process.
Say hello
Your next investment starts by taking one minute to answer a few questions right here. After that, we’ll meet to discuss your goals, in person or online.
The hunt begins
To find the most suited lenders, we’ll discuss your options and borrowing power. An existing property can be used as equity, which means you may not need as much deposit as you first thought.
Down to business
Found a lender? Great stuff. We’ll do the paperwork to package, sign and lodge your documents.
The go ahead
Once pre-approved, your borrowing power will be revealed. Now you can make an offer on your next investment.
The hard yards
You’ve made your move and have just secured a property, all that’s left is the paperwork, which you can leave to us. We will work overtime to ensure your property is accepted by the bank. Grab a sharpie, because a settlement date will then be set in place.
It doesn’t get bigger than this
It’s settlement time! We’ll coordinate with your solicitor or conveyancer and the lender, in line with the date on the contract. Once the settlement takes place, pop the champagne because you’ve just won the property game.

Positive and negative gearing
What’s the difference between the two, and which is right for your investment property?
Positive gearing is when your total rental income is MORE than the cost of owning and managing the investment property (loan repayments, interest, maintenance, management fees, etc). To put it simply, your property props up finances.
Negative gearing is the opposite. It’s when your total rental income is LESS than the cost of owning and managing the investment property, leaving you to make up the difference in payments.
Positive gearing allows you to have an increased income and generally won’t put you out of pocket. However, you will be taxed on any additional cash from your investment.
With negative gearing you can claim tax deductions on expenses related to owning your investment property. The capital growth on the property will also eventually outweigh the expenses as the property grows in value overtime.
Like the names suggest, there are pros and cons for both situations, so it’s important to get the right advice on which one is better suited to you.
