Public Home Loans offers a comprehensive service that includes access to Finance & Mortgage Brokers who understand the intricacies of the property market. Our team assists in researching property options, whether you’re interested in a town house, apartment, or stand-alone dwelling. We know that finding properties in sought-after locations—close to public transport, good schools, and other amenities—can significantly impact rental yield and attract good tenants. 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. Understanding your borrowing capacity is essential, and our brokers work with you to assess this accurately. 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. We also assist in understanding lenders mortgage insurance (LMI) and how it might affect your loan.
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. Expanding your property portfolio often involves investing in emerging markets or areas poised for growth. We provide guidance on these opportunities, ensuring you make well-informed decisions.
Stamp duty is another factor to consider when buying an investment property. Understanding how it affects your overall investment is vital. Our team explains these costs clearly, helping you plan accordingly. When expanding your property portfolio, diversifying by buying anywhere in Australia can be advantageous. This approach allows you to optimise your portfolio by balancing risk and potential returns. The buy and hold strategy is popular among investors seeking long-term growth, and we can help identify properties that fit this model.

As a founder, getting a mortgage requires a couple more hoops to jump through, which is why I couldn't recommend Nick O'Sullivan and the Azura team more highly. Not only were they able to offer a seamless process, but Nick was also patient with us as we changed our minds about when to buy (over a period of years!). The truth is anyone can approach a bank and get a mortgage, but when things don't go perfectly (e.g. abrupt government changes), that's when you want a pro on your team like Nick.

Nick and the team at Azura Financial exceeded our expectations at every step. Their guidance was clear, their expertise was evident, and they handled every financial detail with care — giving us complete peace of mind throughout the process. We couldn't have asked for a better team by our side. Thank you very much, V&V.

As a first home buyer, Carl and the team at Azura were incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. They made everything feel straightforward and were always there to answer any questions along the way. I’ve already recommended them to friends and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get a mortgage!

Nick O’Sullivan helped me with my first investment property purchase last year. As it was my first time, I had plenty of questions, but he was always happy to help and made the whole process seamless. I recently used Nick again to refinance my loan and secure a great interest rate, and once again everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. I highly recommend Nick and his team and look forward to working with them again in the future.
