    Hi I am new to property investing in Australia. From the news update, i know there are strict restrictions on lending by the banks for residential houses for non residents.

    1. Would it be better to look at commercial or residential listings in this instance?
    2. Are there any good banks or mortgage brokers that can help me get finance for non-residents?

    many thanks
    Steven

    HI Steven

    The banks in Australia are being difficult and in my view short sited. What I suggest is talk to an investment mortgage broker who can assist you. I know a couple of very good brokers who specialise in high level finance. message me and happy to pass on the details.

    1. Commercial may be easier, yes.
    2. Smaller lenders seem to be filling the gap the major banks have created. Having a great broker on your team is always a + 👍😎

    Commercial has definitely less restrictions for non-residents than residential lending – and can allow you to access mainstream commercial products in comparison to residential lending where you’re having to use niche lender/products.

    If you have sufficient capital for a deposit of 30-40%, you will get more cost effective and longer term facilities within the commercial lending space than resi at this time.
