River Path Home Loans

Investment property loans

From first rental to your portfolio that funds the rest of your life.

Investment lending is a different game. Different servicing tests, different deposit rules, different traps. We play it well.

What's different about investment lending

Three things to know upfront.

Higher deposits

Most banks want 35–40% deposit (or equivalent equity) for residential investment, vs 20% for owner-occupier.

Tougher servicing

Banks stress-test investment loans at higher rates and only count a fraction of rental income. Real numbers, not headline numbers.

Structure matters more

Offset, revolving, IO vs PI, separate vs cross-secured — the structure dictates what your next move is possible.

FAQs

Common investor questions.

Building a portfolio?

Let's talk strategy before structure.

The first rental is the easiest one to get wrong in a way that costs you on the next three. We'll start with where you're heading.

We work with all of these — so you get the right lender, not just any lender
