Investment Loan Structure Is a Tax Decision, Not Just a Finance One
Most brokers find you the cheapest rate. We structure your investment loan around your tax position, cash flow, and portfolio growth strategy — then find you a competitive rate within that framework.

Is This Right For Me?
We work best with clients who…
Buying your first investment property
The loan structure you choose on your first investment property sets the foundation for your portfolio. We get it right from the start.
Growing a portfolio (2+ properties)
Multiple investment properties require careful cross-collateralisation management, serviceability planning, and lender diversification. We map the full picture.
SMSF investors
Buying property through an SMSF requires a Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement — a specialist product with strict compliance requirements. See our SMSF Loans page.
Equity release for next purchase
Ready to buy your second or third investment? We model your existing equity, LVR position, and serviceability to identify how much you can borrow without compromising your existing portfolio.
Our Process
How We Work Together
01
Portfolio & Tax Review
We review your existing loans, properties, income, and tax position in collaboration with our TaxWin team. The right loan structure — principal & interest vs. interest-only, offset vs. redraw — depends heavily on your tax situation.
02
Loan Structure Recommendation
We recommend a loan structure that maximises your tax deductions, preserves cash flow, and positions you for the next acquisition. This typically includes interest-only terms, a dedicated offset account, and lender diversification across your portfolio.
03
Lender Selection & Application
Investment loan policies vary significantly across lenders — some cap rental income shading at 80%, others at 100%; some cap total investor LVR at 80%, others at 90%. We know which lenders suit your exact investor profile and submit a clean, well-prepared application.
What We Do
What's Included
Interest-Only Loan Options
Interest-only (IO) investment loans maximise your deductible interest and reduce your monthly cash outflow. We identify which lenders currently offer IO terms for investors and structure your loan to maximise the available IO period.
Tax-Aligned Loan Structure
Working alongside our TaxWin accountants, we ensure your loan is structured to maximise tax deductibility — separate loan accounts for each property, correct split between investment and private debt, and PAYG variation to improve cash flow.
Equity Release & Portfolio Leverage
Rising property values create equity you can borrow against for your next acquisition. We calculate your accessible equity, model the impact on serviceability, and identify the most efficient way to fund your next purchase.
Cross-Collateralisation Management
Many investors unknowingly cross-collateralise their properties (using multiple properties as security for one loan) — this significantly reduces your flexibility. We structure your loans to keep properties as independent securities wherever possible.
Lender Policy Navigation
Investment loan policies are more restrictive than owner-occupier — rental income shading, LVR caps, and serviceability assessments differ significantly across lenders. We know the current policies and submit to lenders most likely to approve your situation.
APIG Integration
Pair your investment loan with APIG's buyer's agent service. We communicate directly with your property search team so finance and property run in parallel — no delays between finding the right property and having your finance ready.
Client Case Study
A wrong loan structure was costing an investor $12,000 in unnecessary tax annually.
The Situation
A software engineer owned two investment properties financed by a single large loan cross-collateralised with her home. She was on principal and interest terms and had a large offset balance sitting against her owner-occupied loan — the wrong way around for her tax position.
What We Did
We refinanced all three properties to separate, independent loan accounts. Investment properties were moved to interest-only terms with dedicated offset accounts. Her owner-occupied loan was converted to principal and interest with all non-deductible debt paid down faster. We coordinated with TaxWin to apply for a PAYG variation on the new structure.
The Outcome
Interest deductibility increased by $12,000 per year. Cash flow improved by $680 per month through the PAYG variation. The restructure also unlocked $95,000 in accessible equity she didn't know she had, which is being held for the next acquisition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should my investment loan be interest-only or principal and interest?
For most investors with a negatively geared strategy, interest-only (IO) maximises your tax deductions and preserves cash flow for the next acquisition. However, IO terms have become more restricted since APRA's investment lending changes, and IO rates are typically slightly higher. We model both options for your specific situation.
What is cross-collateralisation and why should I avoid it?
Cross-collateralisation means a lender holds multiple properties as security for a single loan. While banks like it (it reduces their risk), it significantly reduces your flexibility — you can't sell one property without the lender's approval of the whole portfolio. We structure loans to keep each property as its own security wherever possible.
How much can I borrow for an investment property?
Investment loan serviceability is more conservative than owner-occupier — lenders typically count 80% of your rental income (some as low as 75%) and apply a stress test above the actual rate. The borrowing capacity calculation is complex and varies significantly across lenders. We model your exact position and identify which lenders offer the most capacity for your income profile.
I already have 2 investment properties. Can I still borrow more?
Yes, but the strategy becomes increasingly important. We review your full portfolio — LVR position, rental income, existing debt, and serviceability — and identify which lenders can extend further lending and the optimal structure to do so.
How does this work with your property and tax teams?
This is our core advantage. Our property advisors (APIG) identify the investment opportunity, CPL Finance structures the loan around the tax position, and TaxWin sets up the depreciation schedule and PAYG variation — all coordinated from a single engagement.
