Refinancing Investment Property
Looking to reduce your loan repayments?
Based in Sydney's Hills District and helping clients right across Australia, we make refinancing your investment property simple.Refinancing an investment property loan works differently to refinancing the home you live in. As an investor, your priorities are often about maximising the performance of your portfolio — releasing usable equity, restructuring repayments, or improving cash flow on a property that’s working for you. At SB Finance we have access to over 40 of Australia’s biggest lenders and can help you compare options suited to investors.
Reasons investors consider refinancing:
- Your property has grown in value and you’d like to access the equity to put towards the deposit on your next investment
- A fixed-rate period is ending and reverting to a higher variable rate
- You want to review your repayment structure, including interest-only versus principal-and-interest arrangements, to suit your investment strategy
- You’re looking to consolidate the debts across multiple properties into a more manageable structure
- You want to compare lenders to find a loan that better fits your circumstances
What to Keep in Mind as an Investor
Refinancing an investment loan can have costs and tax implications that differ from an owner-occupied refinance, and the way your loan is structured can affect your cash flow and record-keeping. Because everyone’s situation is different, we recommend speaking with your accountant or financial adviser about the tax side, while we help you understand the lending options available across our panel.
SB finance does not offer personal advice and aims to provide information which is factual and in-line with lenders requirements and a customers best interest. We encourage you to seek independent legal and financial advice before proceeding. our credit guide and Privacy disclosure is available on our website.

Why investors refinance
Investors refinance for many of the same reasons owner-occupiers do, plus a few of their own. You might be looking to review your rate, release equity to fund your next purchase, change your loan features, or restructure lending across your portfolio. Because an investment loan is part of a bigger strategy, it is worth checking periodically that it is still working as hard as it can for you.
Releasing equity to expand your portfolio
One of the most common reasons investors refinance is to access the equity that has built up in an existing property and put it towards the next one. Done thoughtfully, this can be a useful way to keep growing without starting from scratch on your deposit each time. We will help you understand what may be available and how it fits with your plans.
What lenders look at when you refinance an investment loan
When you refinance an investment property, lenders typically reassess things like the property value, your rental income, and your overall position across any other lending you hold. Knowing what they are looking for makes the process smoother. With access to a wide panel of lenders, we can help match your situation to the options that suit it.
