Investment loans and portfolio finance solutions for Melbourne investors and clients across Australia
Rated 5 from 45 Reviews
Building wealth through property investment takes careful planning and access to the right finance solutions. At Premier Path Finance, we work with investors across Melbourne, Victoria and Australia-wide to grow their holdings through tailored investment loans and expert strategic guidance. Whether you are purchasing your second investment property or managing several across different markets, our team understands the intricacies of portfolio growth and can help you structure your lending to maximise capital growth potential and maintain healthy cashflow. With access to loan options from a wide panel of banks and lenders, we position you to move with confidence at every stage of your investment journey.
Successfully expanding your property portfolio involves far more than simply acquiring another property. It requires careful thought around portfolio structure, loan-to-value ratios, and your overall investment strategy to support sustainable, long-term growth. Premier Path Finance works closely with you to assess your current financial position and identify opportunities to release equity from existing properties. Using equity wisely can unlock meaningful opportunities for portfolio diversification and further acquisition without requiring large cash deposits. We help you evaluate your LVR across your holdings, weigh up variable and fixed interest rate options, and structure your loans to optimise tax efficiency through negative gearing. Every decision is made with your long-term wealth objectives in mind.
As your portfolio grows, securing favourable loan terms and interest rate discounts becomes increasingly important. Premier Path Finance maintains strong relationships with lenders across Australia, giving clients access to rates and loan products specifically suited to portfolio lending. We understand that lenders assess multiple-property investors differently, and some are far better positioned to support ambitious growth plans than others. Our role is to match you with the right lender for your strategy and ensure the terms reflect your circumstances. Whether you are considering a portfolio refinance to consolidate debt and improve cashflow, or looking to increase your loan amount for your next acquisition, we guide you through every step with transparency and considered advice.
The financial picture when expanding your property portfolio extends well beyond the loan itself. Stamp duty, ongoing property management costs, rental income projections, and income growth all influence the viability of each new investment. Premier Path Finance takes a holistic view of these factors, helping you make informed decisions that align with your long-term objectives. We help you understand how each acquisition affects your overall portfolio position and work proactively to structure your finances in ways that preserve future growth opportunities. Our team stays across market conditions, regulatory changes, and lender policy updates so the advice you receive is always current, relevant, and genuinely in your corner.
Whether you are based in Melbourne, regional Victoria or anywhere across Australia, Premier Path Finance is committed to being your trusted partner in property portfolio growth. Our personalised approach means we take the time to understand your goals, risk tolerance, and investment timeline before recommending a path forward. We do not believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. From investors purchasing their second property to experienced holders looking to add to an established portfolio, our expertise spans the full range of investment scenarios. Explore our investment loan options and let us help you build a clear, considered pathway to lasting wealth through intelligent portfolio finance.
Every investor's situation is different. Our process for expanding your property portfolio is built around your goals, your timeline, and the specific opportunities available to you in Melbourne and beyond.
We start with a genuine conversation about where you want to go. Whether you are looking to add one more property or build a substantial portfolio, we listen carefully before offering any direction. We explore your current holdings, your financial position, and what expanding your property portfolio means for your long-term wealth plan.
We take a thorough look at your income, expenses, existing loans, and the equity available across your properties. This gives us a clear picture of your capacity to borrow and helps us identify the most effective path forward, including any lender discounts or favourable structures you may qualify for.
Based on your profile and investment strategy, we present a curated shortlist of investment loan options from our lender panel. We explain the strengths and trade-offs of each option clearly, so you can make a confident, well-informed decision.
We handle the preparation and lodgement of your application, structuring your loans to support both your current acquisition and your future growth plans. We coordinate directly with lenders and keep you informed throughout.
Once your loan is approved, we walk you through the terms, liaise with any relevant third parties such as solicitors or conveyancers, and ensure settlement proceeds without issue.
Our relationship continues well beyond settlement. We conduct regular loan reviews, identify refinancing opportunities as your portfolio evolves, and remain available to support your next move whenever you are ready to grow further.
At Premier Path Finance, we guide each client along a transparent, confident path to home ownership and lasting financial wellbeing. Drawing on more than 25 years of combined banking and finance experience, our award-winning team delivers mortgage strategies that are both sophisticated and straightforward.
Founded by Luke Owen and Michael Kirk, we built our firm on a simple belief: lending should never feel overwhelming. Whether you are a first-home buyer, seasoned investor, business owner or high-net-worth professional, we are by your side with clarity, integrity and genuine care.

We originally went to our bank with our complex file and felt under appreciated when our banker didn’t want to take the time to understand our needs. We then approached Luke who took less than 24 hours to provide us with an indicative and subsequently a pre approval. Our bank said it was not possible. We felt valued, appreciated and supported. Our family was able to purchase an investment property for our future and Luke was able to make that possible. Highly recommend.

We have dealt with Luke from Premier Path Finance on numerous occasions for purchase of properties and refinances. Luke is very responsive and nothing is too much trouble. He has his clients’ best interest at heart! Every dealing has been a smooth and stress free transaction and we would not even consider engaging anyone else in the future. Highly recommend!

Luke was amazing helping me buy my first property, from our initial chat and chatting about my circumstances and next steps right through to settlement! Luke was always happy to answer my questions, talk through the process and give me all the options, and made a process I had no idea about as seamless as possible. Couldn’t recommend more highly!
Banks can only offer their own products. At Premier Path Finance, we compare a wide range of lenders to help you find a loan that suits your goals and circumstances.
We do the research, paperwork and negotiations on your behalf, making the process simple, stress-free and easy to understand.
Currently over 80% of loans in Australia are provided through a broker instead of directly at the bank, due to the options a broker can provide.
There is no cost to you for using a broker.
We are paid by the lender once your loan settles, which means you won't pay any additional fees and there is no impact on your interest rate or loan terms. Our service is designed to make the process easier by doing the research, comparing lenders and managing the paperwork on your behalf.
With Premier Path Finance, you receive expert advice and support at no extra cost, while we do the hard work for you.
Your borrowing capacity depends on factors including:
• Your income
• Existing debts and expenses
• Deposit amount
• Employment type
• Credit history
We'll assess your situation and help you understand your borrowing power before you start looking for a property.
Many lenders allow eligible borrowers to purchase with as little as a 5% deposit. A larger deposit may provide more lender options and help reduce costs such as Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI).
We'll guide you through your options and explain exactly what you'll need.
Pre-approval is an indication from a lender of how much you may be able to borrow before you purchase a property.
Pre-approval can help you shop with confidence and understand your budget. We'll manage the entire process and liaise with the lender on your behalf.
Timeframes vary depending on the lender and your circumstances. Many approvals are completed within a few days to several weeks.
Our team keeps the process moving and handles the communication with lenders, making everything easier for you.
Absolutely.
Buying your first home can feel overwhelming, but we'll guide you through every step. We'll explain the process in plain English, help you understand your borrowing capacity and determine whether you're eligible for grants and concessions.
Depending on your circumstances and location, you may be eligible for:
• First Home Owner Grants
• Stamp duty concessions
• Home Guarantee Scheme initiatives
We'll help you understand what support may be available and whether you qualify.
Yes.
A guarantor loan may allow eligible borrowers to purchase with little or no deposit while avoiding LMI.
Using a family guarantee in some cases can cover the full purchase cost of a property, inclusive of stamp duty (105% lend), with identical loan terms to a standard loan.
We'll explain how guarantor loans work and whether they're suitable for your circumstances.
Lenders Mortgage Insurance is generally required when you borrow more than 80% of the property's value.
LMI protects the lender, not the borrower. The cost varies depending on the size of your loan and deposit. We can help you understand whether it applies and explore options to minimise or avoid it.
Refinancing may help you:
• Lower your interest rate
• Reduce repayments
• Consolidate debts
• Access equity
• Improve loan features
We'll compare lenders and manage the refinancing process from start to finish.
Yes.
If your property's value has increased or you've paid down your loan, you may be able to access equity for:
• Renovations
• Investment properties
• Debt consolidation
• Personal expenses
We'll help you understand how much equity may be available and which options suit your goals.
Yes.
We assist investors with:
• Investment property loans
• Equity release
• Portfolio growth
• Interest-only lending
• Refinancing existing loans
Whether you're buying your first investment property or expanding your portfolio, we'll help create a strategy that aligns with your goals.
Yes.
Depending on your circumstances, some lenders offer low-deposit home loans and government schemes may also help eligible buyers enter the market sooner.
We'll explain your options and help you find a pathway into home ownership.
A fixed rate provides certainty by locking in your interest rate for a set period.
A variable rate can change over time and often offers greater flexibility, including offset accounts and extra repayments.
We'll explain the pros and cons and help you choose the right loan structure.
An offset account is a transaction account linked to your home loan.
The balance in the account reduces the amount of interest charged on your loan, potentially helping you save thousands over the life of your mortgage.
A construction loan is designed for people building a new home.
Funds are generally released in stages throughout the building process rather than in one lump sum.
We'll guide you through the process and coordinate with the lender and builder to help everything run smoothly.
Settlement is when ownership of the property is officially transferred and the loan funds are released.
We work closely with your lender, solicitor and conveyancer to ensure everything runs smoothly and keep you informed every step of the way.
We recommend reviewing your home loan every 12 to 24 months or whenever your circumstances change.
Regular reviews can help ensure you're still getting a competitive rate and the right loan features.
Multiple loan applications can impact your credit file.
That's why we carefully assess your situation first and recommend suitable lenders before submitting an application, helping you avoid unnecessary enquiries.
