Ready to start your home ownership journey? Let's discuss your options today.
Mortgage Refinancing Options
Your financial situation changes over time, and your home loan should adapt with you. If you're paying more than you need to, or your current loan isn't meeting your needs, refinancing could save you thousands.
When refinancing makes sense:
- Interest rates have dropped since you took out your original loan
- Your property has increased in value significantly
- You want to access equity for renovations or investments
- You're looking to consolidate debt
- Your current lender's service isn't meeting expectations
We'll review your current mortgage against the market and show you exactly how much you could save. Our refinancing process is straightforward, and we handle the paperwork to make the switch as smooth as possible.
The average homeowner who refinances saves over $3,000 per year. Could you be one of them?
Investment Property Loans
Building wealth through property investment requires the right financing strategy. We help Sunshine Coast investors structure their loans to maximise tax benefits and cash flow.
Investment loan features we can arrange:
Interest-only options
to improve cash flow
Line of credit facilities
for multiple property purchases
Cross-collateralisation strategies
to leverage existing equity
SMSF lending
for superannuation property investments
Whether you're buying your first investment property or adding to an existing portfolio, we'll ensure your loan structure supports your long-term wealth-building goals.
Our investment loan specialists understand the tax implications and can connect you with qualified accountants to optimise your strategy.
Construction Loans
Building your dream home on the Sunshine Coast requires specialised financing. Construction loans work differently from standard home loans, releasing funds in stages as your build progresses.
Our construction loan process:
- Pre-approval based on your plans and budget
- Progress payments are released at key building milestones
- Conversion to a standard home loan upon completion
- Ongoing support throughout the construction process
We work with builders across the Sunshine Coast and understand the local construction market. From knock-down rebuilds to new land purchases, we'll structure your construction loan to keep your project on track.
Building can be stressful enough without worrying about finances. Let us handle the loan side while you focus on creating your perfect home.
Self-Emplyed Mortage Solutions
Being self-employed doesn't mean you can't get a great home loan. We specialise in helping business owners, contractors, and freelancers secure competitive mortgages.
Self-employed loan options:
- Low-doc loans with minimal paperwork requirements
- Bank statement loans using your business banking history
- Asset-based lending for high-net-worth individuals
- Non-bank lenders who understand self-employed income
We know that self-employed income can be complex. Our brokers will work with you to present your application in the best possible light, highlighting your income stability and capacity to service the loan.
Don't let being self-employed hold you back from homeownership or investment
opportunities.
Get Pre-Approved Today
Getting pre-approved for your first home loan gives you confidence when house hunting and strengthens your negotiating position with sellers.
Benefits of pre-approval:
- Know your exact borrowing capacity
- Bid with confidence at auctions
- Faster settlement process
- Stronger negotiating position
Our pre-approval process typically takes 24-48 hours, and we'll provide you with a formal letter you can show to real estate agents and sellers.
Pre-approval is free and gives you a clear picture of what you can afford before you start looking at properties.

FAQs
How much can I borrow for a home loan on the Sunshine Coast?
Your borrowing capacity depends on your income, expenses, existing debts, and the deposit you have available. Generally, lenders will allow you to borrow up to 6 times your annual income, but this varies based on your individual circumstances. We'll assess your situation and provide you with an accurate borrowing capacity estimate.
What deposit do I need for a home loan?
While a 20% deposit helps you avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI), many loans are available with smaller deposits. First-time buyers can sometimes borrow with as little as 5% deposit, and some lenders offer 95% loans to existing homeowners. We'll help you understand your options based on your savings and situation.
How long does the home loan approval process take?
Pre-approval typically takes 24-48 hours with the right documentation. Full approval after you've found a property usually takes 7-14 days, depending on the lender and the complexity of your application. We'll keep you informed throughout the process and work to meet your settlement timeline.
Should I fix or keep my interest rate variable?
This depends on your risk tolerance, budget flexibility, and market outlook. Fixed rates provide certainty, but may be more expensive if interest rates fall. Variable rates offer flexibility and potential savings, but can increase. We'll discuss the pros and cons of each option based on your specific situation and current market conditions.
What's the difference between a mortgage broker and going directly to a bank?
Banks can only offer their own products, while mortgage brokers have access to multiple lenders and can compare options to find the best fit for your needs. We also provide ongoing service, regularly reviewing your loan to ensure it remains competitive. Our service is free to you, as the lenders pay us.
Can I get a home loan if I'm self-employed?
Absolutely. While self-employed applications require different documentation, we have access to lenders who specialise in self-employed borrowers. We can help with low-doc loans, bank statement loans, or full-doc applications, depending on your business structure and income verification preferences.
