Structured Lending for Property & Business Investors

As experienced mortgage brokers, AKA Finance Group specialise in securing tailored investment loan solutions for Australian property investors and business owners.

 

Whether you’re purchasing an investment property, refinancing to release equity, or expanding your portfolio, we provide independent advice and access to a broad panel of lenders to secure competitive and strategically aligned outcomes.

Investment lending can be complex — our role is to simplify it, structure it correctly, and manage the process professionally on your behalf.

 

Investment loans are a key component of long-term wealth creation, allowing you to build and scale a property portfolio strategically. Rather than focusing solely on approval, the emphasis is on structuring your loan to maximise cash flow, tax efficiency, and borrowing capacity over time.

 

Our role is to ensure your investment lending is not only competitive — but structured correctly to support portfolio growth and long-term financial outcomes.

Maximum loan terms — with some lenders offering interest-only periods up to 15 years on investment loans.

Key Investment Loan Features

Tax Considerations

✦ Step-by-Step

How We Help Investment Lending Process

01
Getting Started

Understanding Your Borrowing Power

Before you attend inspections or auctions, we calculate your borrowing capacity based on your full financial picture — so you search within the right price range, confidently and strategically.

  • Income and employment type (PAYG or self-employed)
  • Living expenses and existing debts
  • Credit history assessment
  • Available deposit and savings
This ensures you search within the right price range — confidently and strategically. No wasted time on properties outside your reach.
02
Government Support

Government Grants & First Home Buyer Schemes

Many first home buyers don't realise how much support may be available. We assess your eligibility for every applicable scheme — including programs that can help you buy with as little as 5% deposit and in some cases avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance entirely.

  • First Homeowner Grant (FHOG)
  • First Home Guarantee (formerly FHLDS)
  • Stamp duty concessions (state dependent)
  • Regional First Home Buyer Guarantee
We ensure you understand exactly what you qualify for — before you apply for anything.
03
Loan Comparison

Home Loan Pre-Approval

A pre-approval strengthens your negotiating position and gives you clarity before making an offer. We compare major banks and specialist lenders across Australia to find the right product for your situation.

  • Competitive interest rates
  • Fixed and variable options
  • Offset accounts
  • Flexible repayment features
  • Low-deposit solutions
With the right pre-approval in place, you can make offers with confidence — and vendors take you seriously.
04
Strategy

Choosing the Right Loan Structure

Your first home loan should support your long-term goals — not just today's purchase. Whether you plan to upgrade, invest, or pay off your loan aggressively, we structure it strategically from day one.

  • Fixed vs variable interest rates
  • Offset vs redraw facilities
  • Split loan strategies
  • Loan terms and repayment flexibility
05
Long-Term Partnership

Settlement & Ongoing Support

From application to approval and settlement, we liaise with your lender, solicitor, and real estate agent to ensure a seamless process. We coordinate every moving part so you don't have to.

And our relationship doesn't end at settlement. We provide ongoing loan reviews to ensure your interest rate and loan structure remain competitive as your life and the market evolve.

You are never alone — before, during, or after settlement.
✦ Loan Types

Options Available

🏘️

Standard Investment Loan

A traditional mortgage for a rental property. Available as variable, fixed, or split. Most investors start here and build from a solid foundation.

💸

Interest-Only Loan

Pay only the interest for a set period (usually 1–5 years). Lower repayments improve cash flow — popular with investors who prioritise yield and tax deductibility.

🔁

Line of Credit

Access your equity as a revolving credit facility. Draw funds when needed for deposits, renovations, or other investments. Flexible but requires disciplined management.

🏗️

Off-the-Plan Loan

Purchase a property before it’s built. Requires pre-approval with settlement on completion. Lenders assess risk differently — we identify which lenders suit this structure.

🔗

Portfolio Loan

Combine multiple investment properties under one loan facility. Simplified management but requires careful structuring to avoid cross-collateralisation risk.

🏢

Commercial Investment

Investing in commercial property (offices, retail, warehouses)? Different lending criteria apply. See our Commercial Loans page for more detail.
