When buying a rental property, the loan amount and interest rate are pivotal considerations. We guide you through calculating investment loan repayments and understanding the loan structure that suits your needs, whether it involves a variable interest rate or a fixed interest rate.

The process of applying for an investment loan can seem complex, but our streamlined application process makes it manageable.

By reviewing bank statements and other financial documents, we help determine the suitable loan to value ratio (LVR) for your investment. Our goal is to ensure that the application process is as straightforward as possible, enabling you to focus on expanding your property portfolio with confidence.

Investment loan options are plentiful, and choosing the right one is crucial for your property investment strategy. Public Home Loans provides insight into interest rate discounts and other investment loan features that could benefit you. Negative gearing is another aspect worth considering, as it can offer tax advantages. For those interested in cashflow positive properties, we help identify opportunities that align with this strategy.

A massive thank you to Carl Elsas for assisting us with our loan. He was always available to us and made the process incredibly easy. I would recommend him to any first home buyer who’s scared to go through the process as Carl will have your back! Thanks again mate!

We had a great experience working with Nick on our mortgage refinance. From the start, Nick showed a really strong level of knowledge and experience when it came to structuring the loan and explaining the options available to us. He was very easy to talk to, relatable, and always responsive whenever we had questions or needed something clarified. What really stood out was how proactive and prompt he was in taking action on our requests. His team was also fantastic — everyone we dealt with was professional, organised, and clearly worked well together to keep things moving smoothly. The whole process felt well managed and we were really happy with the outcome and the structure put in place for us moving forward. We genuinely enjoyed working with Nick and appreciate the support he and his team provided throughout the process. We would absolutely recommend Nick to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable broker, and we look forward to working with him again for our next phase. Thanks again Nick, Ray & Team

We approached Azura Financial regarding a refinance for our mortgage after years with the same big bank. The team at Azura put together a package with another bank without any stress or hassles on our end, we can not thank Carl and Nick enough they did all the work for us. They had everything done and settled in no time with a package that suited our needs. We highly recommend the team at Azura.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help with loans other than home purchases?

Absolutely. While we specialise in home loans for public servants, we also assist with refinancing, investment property loans, construction loans, land purchases, and car loans. We understand the financial needs of teachers, nurses, police officers, and other public sector workers and can tailor loan solutions to suit your employment structure and benefits.

I’m on a structured government pay scale, does that help my application?

Yes. Government pay scales offer predictable, incremental increases, which many lenders see as a sign of long-term financial stability. This can positively influence both your borrowing capacity and loan approval prospects.

Are there government grants or schemes I might be eligible for?

Yes. As a public servant, you may qualify for various state and federal initiatives such as the First Home Guarantee or stamp duty concessions. We stay up to date with all relevant schemes and will help you understand what’s available based on your circumstances.

Who is eligible to use Public Home Loans' services?

We support current and former employees in all areas of public service, including education, healthcare, emergency services, defence, and government departments at the federal, state, and local levels. We understand the job stability, pay structure, and allowances common in these roles and can leverage that to your advantage when applying for a loan.

What documents will I need to provide for my loan application?

You'll typically need payslips, a recent group certificate or tax return, bank statements, and ID. If you're on a government salary, have salary packaging, or receive additional allowances, we know how to present these to lenders to demonstrate your full income potential. We’ll give you a checklist tailored to your role.

Do you understand how salary packaging affects my borrowing power?

Yes. Many public servants, especially in healthcare and education, use salary packaging or receive fringe benefits. We understand how different lenders assess packaged income and can help ensure your full income potential is recognised in your loan application.

I work for a federal agency, do you understand how my pay and benefits are structured?

Yes. We’re familiar with the pay scales, entitlements, and allowances common across federal departments like the ATO, NDIA, Services Australia, and Centrelink. This insight allows us to present your income accurately to lenders and maximise your borrowing potential.

Do you offer special loan features for public sector workers?

Yes, we often help clients access features like waived LMI for eligible professionals (e.g. nurses or police officers), interest-only repayments for investors, or offset accounts for better cash flow. We’ll help structure a loan that complements your long-term financial goals.

I’ve recently accepted an interstate government role, can I get a loan before I relocate?

Yes. If you’ve received a formal job offer or contract from a government department in another state, many lenders will accept this as proof of future income. We can help you secure pre-approval before you move, so you’re ready to purchase when the time is right.

Can you help me apply for a home loan jointly with another public servant or family member?

Definitely. Many of our clients apply jointly with spouses, siblings, or partners who also work in the public sector. We know how to structure these applications to combine incomes, strengthen the case for approval, and explore any joint eligibility for government support schemes.
