REIF Finance

REIF Finance Services Pty Ltd offers mortgage broking from Darra in Brisbane's western suburbs. Within the wider REIF group, the finance entity is distinct from the separately registered real estate services business.

We begin with each client's property goals, settlement timing, savings, income and existing loan commitments. Those facts help us discuss borrowing in the context of realistic repayments and longer-term financial plans.

First-home buyers can ask about deposits, purchasing costs and the documents a lender might require. We explain indicative borrowing capacity, conditional pre-approval and the stages before final approval.

When refinancing, we examine the existing mortgage balance, remaining term, loan features and possible costs of changing lenders. We compare the present arrangement with alternatives before an application is considered.

Home equity may also form part of a future purchase or debt restructuring strategy. Taking additional secured borrowing can affect repayments, so we discuss the purpose, costs and possible consequences.

For investment property loans, we look at expected rent, holding costs, current debts and planned purchases. Lenders may evaluate investment income and property security under different lending policies.
