“My wife and I are repeat customers - having already 2 properties financed through Cinch Loans, and currently processing loans for 2 more investment properties. It's rare to have a mortgage broker (in our experience) that can also speak intelligibly on financial modelling as means to make smart, data driven decisions into what we should buy and how should we finance it. ... Furthermore, it's refreshing to have someone look after us and proactively reach out to help save us money.”

Frequently asked questions

What is an investment loan?  

An investment loan is designed for purchasing properties you intend to rent out or sell for profit. These loans typically have different interest rates and borrowing requirements than owner-occupied home loans, because they are considered higher risk.

How much can I borrow for an investment property? 

The amount you can borrow depends on your financial situation, the rental income the property is expected to generate, and your chosen lender's criteria. In general, most lenders allow investors to borrow up to 90% of the property value.

Book an appointment to find out your borrowing power and explore financing options.

Can I use equity from my existing property to invest?

Yes, many investors use equity from their existing home or investment properties as a deposit for new investments. This can allow you to borrow without a large down payment. If you use equity (or have a guarantor) you may be able to borrow over 100% of the property's value.

What is negative gearing and how can it help me?

'Negative gearing' refers to when the expenses of owning an investment property exceed the income it generates. This loss may be able to be offset against your taxable income to reduce your tax bill. This is a popular strategy among property investors.

Why is ownership structure important when investing?

When investing in property, the right ownership structure is crucial for managing risk, tax obligations, and asset protection. Your ownership structure determines how you manage profits, handle liabilities, and incur tax liabilities over time.

Here's a brief breakdown of common ownership structures:

  • Individual ownership: simple structure; offers capital gains tax (CGT) exemptions for principal residences but lacks asset protection
  • Company structure: Provides asset protection by separating personal assets from company risks; offers no CGT discount
  • Trust structure: Includes family trusts and unit trusts. Offers tax flexibility and enhanced asset protection, making it popular for long-term wealth management. Complex, but allows income distribution to family members at lower tax rates.
  • Self-managed super fund (SMSF): Tax-effective for property investment to boost retirement savings. Limited to investment properties and follows strict government regulations.

Choosing the right structure depends on your personal financial situation and investment goals. Speak with a financial advisor for professional, tailored advice.

How do I decide between interest-only and principal-and-interest loan for investment purposes? 

Interest-only loans can be popular because they reduce monthly payments and maximise cash flow. However, principal-and-interest loans allow you to pay down the loan balance over time. Your choice depends on your investment strategy. Professional advice can be sought from your accountant or financial planner.
