Who actually borrows here
Typical Kelvin Grove borrower profiles.
First-home buyer upgrading from share-house life
A young professional or couple buying their first Urban Village townhouse or apartment after years renting nearby. The First Home Guarantee removes LMI at higher LVRs; a major bank with a clean townhouse and apartment policy usually leads, and we check floor area on the smaller stock early.
Investor on the student rental pool
An investor buying a townhouse or apartment for the strong QUT-driven tenant demand. A Queensland-based bank and a couple of second-tier lenders produce the best yield-tested servicing; indicative structure is 80% LVR interest-only with a rental letter and offset against any owner-occupier security.
Inner-north upgrader family
A dual-income household trading up into a character home in the higher band, often funded by a prior Red Hill or Windsor sale. A major bank bridging facility keeps the prior-sale timing clean, and we settle to a 70-80% LVR split afterward.
