Investment loans

Investment lending, done structurally.

The loan structure on your first investment property shapes what you can do with your fifth. Get it right at the start and the portfolio scales. Get it wrong and you hit a serviceability ceiling that no amount of equity can solve.

The first decision that compounds for decades.

Property investors get lost in rate comparison because that's what the online calculators show them. Meanwhile the real decisions — crossed vs uncrossed security, ownership entity, interest-only vs P&I, split structures, lender sequencing for serviceability ceiling management — determine whether the portfolio can actually grow. A 0.1% rate difference is rounding error compared to the cost of needing to refinance the whole stack because lender #1 won't write deal #4.

Hypercube structures investment loans with the portfolio in mind from day one — even if day one is only the first property. The question we always ask is: what does this loan need to do for you in five years, when the next purchase is on the table?

Pick the investor conversation.

Investor FAQs

Should my investment loan be interest-only or P&I?
It depends on cashflow and tax position. Interest-only maximises deductibility and keeps cashflow free for the next deposit. P&I builds equity faster and unlocks better rates with most lenders. Most portfolios use a mix, with the owner-occupier loan on P&I and investment loans on IO.
What's wrong with crossed security?
Cross-collateralising two or more properties with the same lender means the lender's security covers all of them. When you want to sell one, release equity from one, or move one to a new lender, the bank has leverage you didn't realise you gave them. Uncrossed structures preserve optionality.
How do I avoid hitting a serviceability wall?
Rotate lenders. Every lender has its own serviceability calculator — some are harsher than others. Using a single lender across three or four properties compounds the serviceability hit. Rotating lenders based on their policies keeps you borrowable for the next deal.
