Frequently asked questions — investment loan broker sydney

How has APRA’s February 2026 DTI cap affected investment lending in Sydney?

From February 2026, APRA requires lenders to limit loans where total debt exceeds 6 times annual income. This affects investors close to their serviceability ceiling. Lender policies vary significantly — some are more conservative than others. We identify which lenders give your application the best chance of approval at the loan size you need.

Should I use interest-only or principal and interest for my Sydney investment loan?

Interest-only reduces monthly outgoings and maximises cash flow, valuable when building a portfolio. P&I reduces debt faster and is viewed more favourably by lenders for refinancing. The right choice depends on your cash flow, tax position and portfolio strategy. We model both scenarios for you.

What Sydney suburbs offer the best investment returns in 2026?

For yields, Western Sydney suburbs like Parramatta, Blacktown and Liverpool currently offer stronger returns. For capital growth, the Hills District, North Shore and Inner West remain compelling. The right suburb depends on your strategy — we help you assess the full investment case before committing.

What types of loans does Rovo Finance help with in Sydney?

We help clients with SMSF property loans, first home buyer loans including government guarantee schemes, owner-occupier home loans, refinancing and investment property loans. We compare across 40+ lenders including major banks, non-bank lenders and specialist SMSF lenders.

Does Rovo Finance charge a fee?

In most cases, no. The lender pays our fee when your loan settles. If there is ever a situation where a fee applies, we will tell you upfront before you commit to anything.
