Investment Home Loans

Investing in property represents one of Australia’s most trusted wealth-building strategies. Investment home loans are specifically designed to fund the purchase or construction of properties intended to generate rental income and capital growth.

Building vs. Buying Established

Financial advantages when you build a new investment property rather than purchasing an established home:

  • Maximum Tax Benefits: Claim full depreciation on new builds (compared to reduced depreciation on older properties)
  • Construction Period Advantages: Claim interest and construction costs as tax deductions
  • Modern Appeal: Higher rental potential with contemporary designs and energy-efficient features
  • Lower Maintenance: Reduced upkeep costs in the initial years of ownership
  • Builder’s Warranty: Protection against structural defects

Financing Options

Our independent building consultants can help structure your investment loan in several ways:

 

  • Traditional Deposit: Using saved funds (typically 10-20%)
  • Equity Release: Leveraging equity from your existing property
  • Cross-Collateralization: Using multiple properties as security
  • Interest-Only Options: Maximizing tax benefits and cash flow
  • Fixed/Variable Rates: Choosing stability or flexibility once construction completes
