This strategy allows you to buy an investment property in good investment locations that may not be feasible for living due to high costs. Our team guides you through the process of applying for an investment loan, considering factors like loan amount, interest rate, and lenders mortgage insurance (LMI). Understanding these elements is crucial, as they influence your borrowing capacity and the overall investment loan application.

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 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.

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.

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.
