Investment Loans
Prepare for your Future with an Investment Property
Investing in property is one of the most effective ways to build long-term wealth, but navigating the world of investment loans is not always straightforward.
Many prospective investors assume that securing the lowest interest rate on an affordable property is the key to success. While interest rates are important, the most suitable investment strategy often involves far more variables than simply chasing the cheapest loan.
At Sarah Rose Finance, your trusted mortgage broker, we specialise in helping property investors streamline their investment journey, whether you’re buying your first investment property or expanding your portfolio.
More than 40 lenders to choose from, including the majors.



















What Makes Investment Loans Different
Investment loans are structured differently from standard home loans, and lenders evaluate them under stricter criteria.
While a home loan for an owner-occupier focuses on affordability and repayment capacity, investment loans consider potential rental income, property growth, and long-term strategy.
Factors to keep in mind when looking for an investment loan include:
- Loan type and structure: Principal and interest vs. interest-only loans can significantly affect cash flow.
- Lender assessment: Lenders often have different serviceability requirements for investment loans, including rental income assumptions and higher deposit requirements.
- Property potential: Location, market trends, and property type all impact your ROI and long-term wealth-building opportunities.
- Tax implications: Investment properties involve considerations such as negative gearing, depreciation, and capital gains tax, which can influence your borrowing strategy.
Given these complexities, working with experienced mortgage brokers like Sarah Rose Finance is crucial.

Investing FAQ
What's the first step to investing in property?
If you’re looking to invest, your first step is to book a free consultation. We’ll review your goals, borrowing power, and current lending situation. From there, we’ll create a tailored strategy to suit your needs.
Why should I use a finance broker to invest instead of going directly to a bank?
A broker works for you, not the bank. We compare multiple lenders and loan products to find the most suitable option for your needs. You’ll save time, often access better rates, and get ongoing support long after settlement.
Additionally, brokers are paid commission by lenders, meaning our services are typically free for clients. This won’t affect the rate or loan structure we recommend, as our top priority is always finding the best outcome for you.
Do you only help local clients?
Although we are based on the Gold Coast, we can assist clients from all across Australia via phone, email, or video meetings.
What services do you offer?
We assist with a wide range of finance solutions, including:
- Home loans and investment property loans
