Decisions you don’t have to make, on a timeline that fits your swing or time constraints

Turnkey builds with defined upgrade packs, an effective path to market, and a process that runs without you micro-managing every step.

Is this you?

  • You’re on a roster — 2/1, 8/6, or even time — and never free during business hours
  • You’re earning well and want the income working rather than sitting
  • You want to get to market quickly without customising a build
  • You’re already thinking about tax and want a structural answer, possibly that you can repeat

If you ticked at least two, this pathway is worth understanding.

The problem

Not a lack of money or intent — a lack of available hours, and an industry that keeps trying to book 2pm Tuesday appointments in person. Ours process works with you - not against you.

How it works

How it works — built around your routine or roster

The same guided pathway, retold for someone who can’t take calls mid-shift and doesn’t want to be a bottleneck during construction.

  1. 1

    Enquiry

    Tell us your roster or routine and your best contact time. We’ll book around it.

  2. 2

    Qualification

    A specialist reviews your position — by voice or video, on your schedule.

  3. 3

    Finance structuring

    We map borrowing capacity for high income and FIFO income — overtime, allowances, roster-dependent earnings.

  4. 4

    Prelim plans

    A prelim agreement to lock in the design, inclusions, and scope before contract - all handled digitally. No in-person appointments required.

  5. 5

    Build updates

    Stage updates pushed by message, not buried in email. You see progress without being onsite.

  6. 6

    Completion & refinance

    Handover, tenant-ready, and a refinance opportunity to review — all managed remotely.

Our commitment

Built around your valuable time

  • Call slots early morning, evening, and on swing days
  • Video and voice throughout — no in-person appointments required
  • Digital document execution end to end
  • Build-stage updates pushed by message, not buried in email
  • One named contact who knows your time is valuable - including your time off
Why a new build

Why a new build

Since the 2017 changes to plant and equipment depreciation, investors purchasing established residential property generally cannot claim depreciation on second-hand assets within it. A newly built property retains that entitlement alongside capital works deductions.

This is a structural feature of the legislation — not a strategy, a benefit, or a recommendation. Whether it is relevant to your situation depends on your individual tax position, which you should discuss with your registered tax agent.

This is general information about how the tax legislation applies to new versus established property. It does not constitute tax advice. You should consult your own registered tax agent before making any investment decision.

Finance

Finance for FIFO income

The question nobody answers properly: how do lenders actually assess FIFO income? This is general information about how the lending landscape typically works — not a statement of any named lender’s policy.

Overtime and site allowances

Lenders generally assess overtime and site allowances differently. Some include them fully in serviceability if they are regular and documented; others apply a discount or exclude them. Typical requirements include payslips showing the allowance over multiple pay periods and a letter from your employer confirming the allowance is ongoing.

Living-away benefits and camp accommodation

If your employer provides camp accommodation, some lenders may reduce the living-expenses component of their serviceability calculation, which can improve borrowing capacity. Living-away-from-home allowances are treated differently by different lenders.

Casual versus permanent employment

Permanent employees on a fixed roster are generally assessed more favourably than casual employees. Some lenders will assess a casual FIFO worker on their average earnings over 12–24 months, while others require a minimum period of continuous employment.

Typical payslip requirements

Most lenders require the most recent two to three payslips, a YTD summary, and sometimes group certificates for the past one to two years. Some lenders also request a letter from your employer confirming your roster, income, and employment status.

Mortgage repayments increase when the loan reverts to Principal and Interest. This is general information only and does not constitute financial, tax, or investment advice. You should consult your own registered tax agent or licensed financial adviser before making any investment decision.
