The Investment Loan Application Process
                Step 1: Initial Meeting
Begins with an in-depth conversation with your Finance & Mortgage Broker. We will take time to understand your property goals, financial situation, and any special circumstances that may apply. We will explain our process & next steps to get the ball rolling.
Step 2. Document Verification
You will receive a link to our online portal so you can easily provide us your information. We will also request the documents we need to verify your income, assets and other financial information.
Step 3: Loan Meeting
The next step involves your broker conducting a thorough evaluation of your financial position. This includes reviewing your income, bank statements, assets, liabilities, credit history, and savings. Your broker will then calculate your borrowing capacity, helping you understand how much you can afford to borrow and how much your monthly repayments might be. Your broker will also assess whether you qualify for any interest rate discounts or government schemes, like first-home buyer grants.
Step 4: Loan Selection
Based on your financial situation, your broker will research and present a list of loan options from a variety of lenders. These loans will be tailored to meet your needs and goals, whether you’re looking for a fixed interest rate loan, variable loan rates, or a more flexible loan that offers an offset account. Your broker will also explain the loan-to-value ratio (LVR) and help you weigh the pros and cons of each loan option, ensuring you’re making an informed decision.
Step 5: Application Submission
Once you’ve selected the right loan, your broker will manage the application process for you. They will submit your application to the lender and ensure that all required documents are provided. This may include additional paperwork such as proof of assets, liabilities, and other relevant financial information. Your broker will handle communication with the lender, addressing any questions they may have and ensuring a smooth, streamlined application process.
Step 6: Pre-Approval
Getting pre-approved for a loan gives you a clear understanding of your budget and strengthens your negotiating position when bidding for a property. Pre-approval also gives you confidence to act quickly in the local property market and avoid the risk of missing out on your desired property.
Step 7: Loan Approval & Settlement
After your loan is approved, your broker team will assist in reviewing the final loan agreement, ensuring that all terms, including interest rate, fees, and repayment schedules, are understood. They will also help set up your repayment structure, loan document signing & liaising with your solicitor & the lender. Once settlement is confirmed, your property ownership is officially complete, and you’ll receive access to the property.
Step 7: Ongoing Support
Once your loan is settled, your Finance & Mortgage Broker remains available for ongoing support. This may include advising on managing your loan repayments, exploring the possibility of refinancing, or helping you tap into your home equity for future property purchases. Your broker’s role doesn’t end at settlement—they’ll be there to guide you through the entirety of your property ownership journey.
