What we see in Miami
Beachside village between Burleigh and Nobby. Walk-up apartments and small detached homes; lifestyle buyers from southern states are a regular borrower profile.
Lender shortlist for Miami
Miami's mix of small detached homes and older walk-up apartments means the lender shortlist on our panel of 60+ lenders depends on the security type. Detached and quality unit stock values cleanly across the majors; older small-floorplate walk-ups suit second-tier lenders that value them more generously. All commentary is indicative and subject to policy at submission.
Who actually borrows here
Typical Miami borrower profiles.
Southern lifestyle relocator
Sydney or Melbourne household buying a renovated walk-up or a small detached home a short walk from the beach. With equity from a prior sale the new loan often sits at 60-70% LVR; a major bank is usually cleanest where the southern settlement lands after the Queensland contract date.
Owner-occupier upgrader from Burleigh Waters
Local family moving into a detached home in the beachside pockets. Bridging through a major bank keeps the timing clean; the file commonly lands at 60-70% LVR once the prior property sells, with the lender choice driven by offset features and package pricing.
Walk-up apartment investor
Investor buying a two-bed walk-up for the steady beachside rental demand. A couple of second-tier lenders typically deliver the strongest yield-tested servicing on older unit stock; indicative structure is 80% LVR interest-only with rental income from a letting appraisal.

Common questions about developer finance in Miami
Do you fund developments in Miami?
Yes. We map the Miami project size, presales, security, and exit path against lenders that fund comparable projects, then build the funding sequence before terms are requested. Senior debt for residential and small-mixed-use builds, with tranche releases against quantity surveyor reports.
Minimum project size?
Typically $1.5M+ TDC for senior debt; we have private lender relationships for smaller projects.
What pre-sales do we need?
Bank lenders generally require 50–80% pre-sales coverage on residual debt. Private and specialist non-banks are more flexible for the right sponsor.
