Investment Property Loans in Australia – What You Need to Know
In Australia, an investment property loan is a home loan where the property is purchased primarily to generate rental income or long-term capital growth, rather than as an owner-occupied residence.
You may have come across the UK term “buy to let mortgage” in your research — the concept is the same, but Australian lenders refer to these as investment property loans or investment home loans.

The process we follow with investors is usually
Step 1
Chat by phone, face to face, Skype to understand and/or help devise the financial aspect of your investment strategy.
Step 2
Determine your borrowing capacity based on your current equity, level of debt and personal scenario.
Step 3
Based on the above, assess which lender’s product may be most suited to your scenario – whether it be a mainstream bank; non-bank lender; private financier, or specialist lender.
Step 4
Provide all of the available options to you and then proceed with forming an application.
Step 5
Whilst we do the majority of the application paperwork for you, we do require a range of documentation from you as a part of the application process and in order to comply with ASIC regulations. The sooner you supply ALL of the required documentation, the sooner we can get your application in to the bank.
Step 6
Once we receive an approval, we then follow the process through to settlement and beyond, to ensure you are happy with the progression of your investment strategy.
TSC Mortgage Brokers mortgage broker 3 top tips for investors
- Self education is critical when you are looking to invest in property. Read books and blogs; trowel websites; attend property investor network meetings; talk to other investors about their experiences (everyone likes to talk about themselves!); complete an investors course; find yourself a coach or a mentor. Invest this time at the start to potentially save you time and money in the long term.
- Plan in advance and be organised. Getting loan approvals generally doesn’t happen over night. Brokers may be at the whim of a lender and their capacity, especially in more complex scenarios. Ultimately this causes stress for everyone. Have the required documentation ready to go and provide EVERYTHING that is requested to ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible.
- Be honest. If you have had a default or there has been an issue with financiers or loan re-payments in the past – we NEED to know. There are a lot of ways and means at the banks disposal to find out information, so if we don’t know, we can’t help you and it usually comes back to bite us (you) hard.
Frequently Asked Questions
An investment loan works similarly to a home loan but is secured against an investment property. Lenders assess rental income potential plus your personal income. Interest rates are typically slightly higher than owner-occupier rates.
Most lenders require a minimum 10–20% deposit for investment properties. Using equity from an existing property can eliminate the need for a cash deposit entirely.
Negative gearing occurs when your investment property expenses (interest, maintenance) exceed rental income. The net loss is tax-deductible against your other income, reducing your overall tax liability.
Interest-only loans require you to pay only the interest for a set period (usually 1–5 years), resulting in lower repayments. This improves cash flow and can increase tax deductions, but you’re not reducing the principal balance.
Yes — if you have sufficient equity in your home (usually 20%+ of property value minus your loan balance), you can use it as a deposit for an investment property without saving additional cash.
There’s no legal limit. However, each new property purchase reduces your borrowing capacity. Lenders also cap the number of investment loans they’ll approve per borrower. A broker can map out a long-term portfolio strategy.
A buyer’s agent sources and negotiates property purchases on your behalf. While not essential, they are valuable in competitive markets. Paired with a mortgage broker for finance, they form a strong investment team.
