Carl has been amazing to work with. He was on the ball straight from the start with knowing all the information I would need to provide. He was quick to respond while others would not return communication for weeks. He managed to secure me a great product in a short amount of time, even while we are on opposite sides of the country. I highly recommend getting in touch with Carl, you won't look back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help FIFO workers with refinancing existing mortgages?

Absolutely! We specialise in helping FIFO workers refinance their home loans and investment properties. Our brokers understand the complexities of FIFO income and can find you better interest rates from our network of 2,000 loan products. We'll review your current loan and find refinancing options that could save you thousands over the life of your loan.

Do you understand FIFO income patterns and work schedules?

Yes, we formed specifically to serve FIFO workers who were being overlooked by big banks and brokerages. Our Licensed Mortgage Brokers are experts in FIFO income structures, including roster patterns, site allowances, and variable income streams. We know how to present your application in the best light to lenders who understand the FIFO lifestyle.

Why should I use FIFO Home Loans over going direct to banks?

FIFO workers often face challenges with traditional lenders who don't understand their income patterns. We have exclusive technology and relationships with lenders who specialise in FIFO lending. We do all the legwork, can give you a good idea of what you'll qualify for before applying (protecting your credit score), and work with you completely online to fit your roster schedule.

Do lenders accept FIFO allowances and overtime as part of my income?

Yes, but it requires the right broker who understands how to present FIFO income correctly. We know which lenders recognize site allowances, overtime, and roster premiums as genuine income, and how to structure applications to maximize your borrowing capacity. Many FIFO workers are surprised to learn they can borrow more than they thought when their full income package is properly presented to the right lenders.

What if I'm between contracts or looking to change FIFO companies?

We work with FIFO workers in all employment situations. Whether you're between contracts, transitioning between companies, or moving from permanent to contract work (or vice versa), we know which lenders are flexible with FIFO employment situations. We can often secure pre-approval based on your track record and industry experience, giving you confidence to make property decisions even during career transitions.

Do you only help with home loans or can you assist with other FIFO lending needs?

We can help FIFO workers with home loans, investment properties, construction loans, car loans, personal loans, and much more. Whether you're buying a ute for work, building your dream home, or expanding your investment portfolio, if you need to borrow money, we can probably help find the right solution.
