Who actually borrows here
Typical Mount Gravatt borrower profiles.
Family upgrader in the busway catchment
A dual-income family buying a post-war home on a good block within reach of Garden City and the busway. Serviceability is generally comfortable; the work is timing the prior sale, so a major bank bridging facility avoids a sale-subject contract and we settle to a 70-80% LVR split.
Griffith-precinct investor
An investor buying a house or townhouse for the Griffith University tenant demand. A Queensland-based bank and a couple of second-tier lenders produce the best yield-tested servicing once portfolio debt is loaded; indicative structure is 80% LVR interest-only with a rental letter.
Self-employed family buyer
A small-business operator buying a family home, leaning on add-backs and one or two-year financials. A major bank takes an accountant declaration on a clean trading history; a specialist non-bank sits behind for files with short trading history or ATO timing.

Minimum project size?
Typically $1.5M+ TDC for senior debt; we have private lender relationships for smaller projects.
What pre-sales do we need?
