Building wealth through Brisbane property investment requires the right finance strategy. Compare investment property loan options from over 40 lenders and connect with brokers who specialise in investor lending.

Investment Loan Options

Different investment strategies require different loan structures:

Principal & Interest (P&I) Loans

Pay down your loan balance while building equity. Best for investors focused on long-term wealth building and reducing debt.

Interest-Only Loans

Minimise repayments to maximise cash flow. Popular with investors who want to maximise tax deductions. Typically available for 1-5 years.

Line of Credit / Equity Access

Access your existing equity to fund investment property purchases. Flexible drawdown and repayment options.

Brisbane Investment Property Market

Brisbane remains one of Australia’s most attractive investment markets. Key factors include:

  • Population growth - Strong interstate migration driving rental demand
  • Infrastructure - Olympics 2032, Cross River Rail, Brisbane Metro
  • Affordability - Better value than Sydney and Melbourne
  • Rental yields - Competitive gross yields of 4-5%+

Maximising Your Borrowing Capacity

Investment borrowing capacity differs from owner-occupied loans. A qualified broker can help maximise how much you can borrow by:

  • Structuring loans to optimise rental income calculations
  • Using different lenders’ serviceability calculators
  • Considering fixed vs variable rate impacts
  • Timing applications with rental reviews

Tax Considerations for Brisbane Investors

Understanding how loan structures impact your tax position:

  • Negative gearing - Investment property losses may offset your income
  • Interest deductibility - Investment loan interest may be tax deductible
  • Loan structure - Keeping investment and personal debt separate is important

We recommend working with a qualified accountant for tax advice.
