Whether you’re purchasing your first investment property or expanding your portfolio, we help Canberra investors structure loans strategically and compare competitive investment lending options.
If you already own a home in Canberra, you likely have built‑up equity. We can help you release that equity (via a top‑up or new loan) to use as a deposit for an investment property – without needing to save a separate deposit. This is one of the fastest ways to grow your portfolio.
Most investors choose interest‑only (IO) loans for the first 5 years to maximise cash flow and negative gearing benefits. We’ll model both scenarios so you see the long‑term impact.
Lenders assess investment loans differently – they may count 80% of rental income but include your existing home loan repayments. We’ll calculate your true borrowing power and find lenders that treat investment income favourably.
Interested in buying property through your Self Managed Super Fund? We work with specialist SMSF lenders who understand limited recourse borrowing arrangements (LRBAs). Let’s discuss your super strategy.
Negative gearing occurs when your investment property costs (interest, rates, maintenance) exceed rental income. The loss can reduce your taxable income. We show you how to structure the loan to maximise tax benefits while keeping an eye on long‑term capital growth.
Review your existing investment loan rates every 2‑3 years. We’ll compare and refinance to a lower rate, potentially saving thousands.
We help you map out a multi‑property strategy – using equity from property #1 to buy #2, and so on.
Typically 10-20%. If you use equity from your home, the effective cash outlay can be lower.
Yes, most lenders offer 5-year interest‑only terms for investors. We’ll compare rates and fees.
Lenders generally add 70-80% of rental income to your serviceability assessment. We’ll find those that are most generous.
Each structure has pros/cons for asset protection and tax. We aren’t accountants, but we can recommend you speak to one and we’ll align the loan accordingly.
