Many investors choose to work with a licensed mortgage broker because investment lending can be more complex than a standard home loan. Brokers compare lenders, policies, and structures to find finance options that suit your goals. At Citadel, we connect clients with experienced, investor-focused brokers for tailored advice.
Equity can often be used to help fund another purchase, but the right strategy depends on your personal circumstances. A licensed mortgage broker or lender will assess your position and explain your options. We work alongside specialist brokers who guide our clients through this process safely.
Generally, lenders may require around a 20% deposit for an investment loan, though some options exist with lower deposits depending on lender criteria. The exact amount varies and will be explained by your mortgage broker or lender.
Both loan types are available for investors, but the right choice depends on your financial situation and long-term plans. A mortgage broker will outline the pros and cons of each based on your circumstances. At Citadel, we ensure you’re connected with brokers who understand investment lending structures.
Yes, many investors refinance to potentially access equity, reduce repayments, or restructure loans. Citadel doesn’t provide finance advice directly, but we work closely with licensed brokers who can review your loans and advise whether refinancing is suitable for you.
Yes, we can connect clients with brokers and lenders who specialise in Islamic finance options. These Sharia-compliant products are structured differently from traditional loans and are designed to align with Islamic principles. Your broker will explain how these work and whether they are suitable for your situation.
No, you’re free to use any broker or bank of your choice. However, most of our clients prefer our referral partners because they specialise in investment lending and understand how to structure loans for portfolio growth.
