Three scenarios we cover deeply

The borrower types where plain information actually changes the loan outcome.

First Home Keys to a new home

Your first Australian home

PR / citizens buying their first property — stacking FHOG grants, stamp duty concessions and the federal 5% deposit scheme. We'll walk through the maximum you can actually combine.

  • State FHOG grants — $10k to $25k
  • First-home stamp duty thresholds
  • Home Guarantee Scheme low-deposit paths
Self-employed / Non-PR Small business owner

Self-employed, freelancer, temp-resident

NOAs, Low Doc, non-standard income, 485 / 482 / student-visa buyers — the "banks-are-reluctant-but-it-is-doable" scenarios. This is our wheelhouse.

  • Low Doc · 2-year self-employed minimum
  • Overseas income / temp resident + FIRB
  • Non-PR LVR ceilings explained
Business / Commercial Business workspace

Business lending & commercial property

188 business visas, asset finance, commercial property purchase + fit-out, SMSF lending — the complex structures other sites avoid.

  • 188A/B/C visa loan packaging
  • Commercial purchase + fit-out finance
  • SMSF (self-managed super) lending

How it played out

Real cases — the reasoning step by step, from first enquiry to settlement.

First home

"5% deposit + FHOG →
a Ryde semi in Sydney"

Six months into PR, three banks said no. Stacking Home Guarantee Scheme + FHOG + stamp duty concession got pre-approval within a week.

Lisa's family · Inner West · $1.02M purchase
Refinance

"Four properties, one lender,
$700/month in free cash"

Previously split across three lenders — servicing was tight. Consolidated the portfolio to a single lender, unlocking $180k of equity and $700/month cash-flow.
