Investment lending questions, answered

The quick versions. You’ll find the full lists on the purchase and refinance pages.

Do I need a big income to start?

Not necessarily. Lenders assess your full position, including your income, expenses, debts, deposit or equity and the property’s expected rent. An ordinary income may still support an investment loan, but only a proper assessment can show what is realistic for you.

Is an investment loan different from a normal home loan?

Yes. Investment loans usually carry slightly higher interest rates, lenders assess them with rental income included, and features like interest-only repayments are more common. The application process feels similar, but the assessment and the right structure are different, which is why specialist guidance matters.

How much could I save by refinancing?

Every situation is different, but even a small reduction in your interest rate can make a significant difference over time. We compare your current loan against 50+ lenders and calculate whether refinancing will leave you better off after allowing for any switching costs.

What does a mortgage broker cost?

For standard residential lending, you do not pay koala financial a broker fee. We are paid a commission by the lender you choose, and we disclose that commission in writing. You receive the lender comparison, loan-structure guidance and application management without a broker fee.
