Have you ever considered commercial property as part of your investment strategy?

Commercial property can work differently from residential property. Depending on the lease, tenants may be responsible for certain property outgoings in addition to their rent.

Commercial property may also be able to be purchased through an SMSF, subject to strict superannuation, lending and investment rules.

Commercial property lending is different from a standard home loan, so understanding your borrowing position and loan structure before you start looking can make a big difference.

We can work alongside your accountant and financial adviser to help you understand the lending side of the equation.

Have you considered whether purchasing your own commercial property could be an option?

Instead of paying rent to a landlord, owning your premises could give you greater control and security over where your business operates, while also providing the potential to build an asset over time.

Commercial property finance can look very different to a standard home loan, and there may be lending options available that you haven’t considered.

At Mortgage Finesse, we can help you explore your borrowing options and understand what purchasing your own business premises could look like.

When was the last time you reviewed your home loan?

Your circumstances can change. Interest rates change. And lenders’ offers and policies change too.

The loan that suited you a few years ago may not necessarily be the most suitable option for you today.

A home loan review can help you understand your current position, whether your loan is still competitive, and what other options may be available.

At Mortgage Finesse, we can review your existing loan and help you understand whether it makes sense to stay where you are or explore other opportunities.

Have you considered commercial property as part of your SMSF strategy?

For some investors and business owners, purchasing commercial property through an SMSF can be an option worth exploring, but the finance, structure and lending requirements can be very different from a standard property loan.

At Mortgage Finesse, we can help you understand the available lending options, what different lenders may allow, and what borrowing could look like for your SMSF.

If commercial property is on your radar, speak with us about the finance possibilities and work with your accountant and financial adviser to determine whether the strategy is appropriate for you.

Has your bank told you that you can’t borrow as much as you need?

That doesn’t necessarily mean you’re out of options.

Different lenders assess borrowing capacity differently. Some can offer greater flexibility than the major banks, including different servicing buffers and lending criteria.

At Mortgage Finesse, we can explore a wide range of lenders to see what options and opportunities may be available for your situation.

Before you give up on your plans, speak with us and find out what may be possible.

Could your home loan be working harder for you?

If it's been a while since you reviewed your mortgage, now could be a good time to see whether refinancing is worth considering.

Refinancing may help you:
• Access a more competitive interest rate
• Potentially reduce your repayments
• Unlock equity for renovations or other goals
• Consolidate existing debts
• Access loan features that better suit your needs

Every homeowner's situation is different, which is why it's worth reviewing your options before making a decision.

At Mortgage Finesse, we compare a range of lenders and help you understand whether refinancing is the right move for your circumstances.

If your property has increased in value or you've built up equity by paying down your home loan, you may be able to use that equity towards the purchase of an investment property.

Using equity could help you:
✔ Purchase sooner without saving another large deposit
✔ Grow your property portfolio
✔ Take advantage of investment opportunities

Of course, it's important to understand your borrowing capacity, the costs involved, and whether this strategy is right for your financial goals.

That's where we can help.

If you're considering investing in property, let's chat about your options and how your existing home could help you take the next step.
