Finding The Right Investment Property
There are three main ways to use an investment property:
- Buy the property at a low price and sell it for a high price
- Buy the property, renovate it, and sell it for a profit
- Buy the property and rent it out over time
All of the above are common ways to invest, and you can get a home loan for any of them. The difference depends on what you are looking for out of your investment property. Did you want to buy a house for retirement and rent it out in the meantime? Do you intend to increase your day to day cash flow, build up equity, or increase your capital? Deciding what you are looking for is an important first step in property investment.
Commercial Vs. Residential Real Estate
These are two very different options for property investment. You’ll need to figure out what the property costs, what the renovations and maintenance costs will be, and what the amount it will rent out as for both. However, residential real estate is often easier to predict than commercial real estate investments. Often, leases are longer on commercial property and the valuation process differs between the two.
Deciding between the two means you should consider to what extent you are able to manage a property. Commercial property investment often takes more dedicated time to manage.
Consider What You Can Afford
Maybe right now you can only afford one smaller property. However, after paying off your home loan for a bit you might be able to use your equity to put a deposit on a second property. iLender offers low 10% deposits, making it easier to get started with your investment property portfolio.
Shop Around
Look at neighbourhoods that are up and coming. Location is the key, especially for rental properties. The largest profit gains come from investment properties chosen in the right area.

"Our bank of 10+ years couldn't get the job done. Jeff and his team did it in two weeks, absolutely hassle free. Really need an option for a 6 star rating as the type of personalised service you receive from iLender just doesn't exist anywhere else."

"I am a first home buyer, who had been battling for 7 months to secure a home for my family and I. Jeff was my third try at a mortgage broker/banker, and by the time I got to Jeff I'm just thinking about giving up, this is just too hard. Jeff brought assurance and calmness to my situation straight away. He answered all my questions with clarity, and without hesitation or annoyance. Just shy of 4 weeks since working with Jeff, I am now a home owner. I cannot recommend him enough!! Thank you for all your help Jeff."

I’d like to thank Jeff for all the valuable advise he gave me months over months until we finally secured the lending just in time. We did miss something very important at the end but I appreciate Jeff’s commitment to getting it resolved. I’m sure we’ll have similar or even better experience in the future with iLender, now that we have secured our first lending together.Thank you Jeff!

Bruce is THE MAN! I went through half a dozen brokers who couldn't think outside of the box but Bruce MAKES IT WORK. He is fast-working, solution-driven, patient, gives great advice and a broker to have for life if you're wanting to grow your portfolio.

I got a lesson in communication from iLender, which I am going to embrace in my business going forward.The lesson: Get on the phone with your clients more often than you email them.It saves typing time going back and forth but, more importantly, you're showing the personal touch, coming across as an efficient business that gets things done.Thanks to Grant at iLender Mortgage Brokers. I cannot recommend them enough. Aside from the epic and timely communication, they got us a mortgage when others couldn't!

Prior to going to BRUCE FOORD at iLender, we had 2 brokers who did the bare basic’s. Once we started working with Bruce Foord at iLender, we Noticed a remarkable difference in assistance with our home loan. He was very responsive and had great communication and assisted us each step of the way. Working with Bruce Foord at iLender was a breeze, and would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!Amazing honestly!Thank you Bruce Foord for going above and beyond to make our dream come true.

Just want to thank you so much Jeff for sticking with us from the beginning of this year and through out the lock down period. It was definitely a time of high stress and axiety- but your cool manner and stay calm attitude and being connected to us kept giving us hope. When we came out of lock down times were still very unclear and lending was not certain. Somehow you stuck with it and navigated us and your company through it. Your work ethic and business awareness and awesome customer service has served my family well. Jeff you are a rock star in the finace industry and you will be always a trusted lending expert when I am ready to forge ahead with my next project. Until we chat again faafetai lava

Being a broker myself ( insurance ) I can definitely say these guys are the best when it comes to Mortgages. Jeff has been brilliant, prompt and professional,. He has taken us across the finish line and we are now proud home owners. If these guys cant help you, no one else can. Pick up the phone, email these guys and get closer to that dream.

I was told there was NO WAY we could get a home loan, but I thought there must be a way. I looked randomly online and I saw iLender. At first I thought it was just another suspect finance company, but after doing some checking, i found out they are exactly what they say they are. I phoned iLender during the covid 19 lockdown, actually thinking no one would answer... wrong. Jeff answered and i told him about our situation, which was not good. We were both unemployed, no income and thanks to covid, stuck at my mother's. The only thing we had going for us was that we had some money in the bank. Jeff didn't tell me no problem or it's an easy process, but he did say it could be done. I told my family we could do this, they didn't believe me and thought I was dealing with a dodgy company. They couldn't of berm more wrong!!! I said to Jeff, apparently your the number 1 broker and let's see your magic. He said, if he can't do it, then no one can.... he was right, and he is NUMBER ONE. Jeff made time for us, kept in constant contact, he was always cool, calm and professional, which made me feel relaxed during the process. Her didn't promise anything he couldn't deliver, and he did deliver 100%. If you find yourself in a tricky situation, and need friendly, honest, professional, highly knowledgable expert advice for finance, I can't recommend Jeff Royle and iLender enough. We will be using their services again soon when we purchase further properties in the near future. If it wasn't for Jeff, we wouldn't of been able to take this first step leading on to the next for our future. If you are thinking of using a broker, use iLender with Jeff and his team, you will not regret your decision. My sincerest thanks to Jeff and iLender for giving me a chance and changing our life.Thank youShane Scott

THANK YOU TO BRUCE! YOU ARE A LEGEND!!! There are not enough words to express my thanks to ilender mortgage brokers who are professionals who truly care for people; especially my mortgage broker Bruce Foord. From the first point of contact via phone calls, emails etc until settlement and… beyond, I have had the privilege to have Bruce give me tremendous advice, has been always available for a chat (as I called him at all sorts of times in my moments of nervousness or panic in regards to buying my first home), he has been passing on positive energy with his wise words(everything will be okay or let me think about it and find a way for you). This is where the impossible becomes possible and dreams come true for real…. with those of us who experience challenges in either buying a house or needing advice on home loans, just pick up the phone and call ilender and talk to Bruce!! Thanks!!!Justine 28 May 2020 (now a first home owner)

Bruce and the team and ilender mortgages were amazing to work with. As first home buyers everything was new and daunting to us but our fears were put at rest. When we first applied i didnt think we would have much luck due to our situation, but Bruce helped turn our dream in to a reality very quickly. Highly recommend him and the team, awesome service, professional/kind/understanding and put up with our 1000 questions!! thank you so much for everything.

First, let me assure you Jeff isn't writing these reviews himself! He really exists, and I'm a real client with no other connection. We were referred to him by a broker who had been acting for us, but felt he could not help us any further.Jeff responded immediately that he could definitely help (not would "try to help") with what was clearly a tricky refinancing exercise. The proof of the promise was that he has delivered on it, coming up with an arrangement which was tailor made to our situation. As a bonus, we found him pleasant to deal with in what were stressful circumstances for us.My partner and I are extremely grateful to Jeff. From our experience, we would recommend Jeff very highly. We are also grateful to the previous broker, btw, without whom we might not have found Jeff.

Jeff is amazing. When all the banks and their brokers said "no", Jeff not only said "yes" - he made it happen. He was there with us during our journey in the house hunt and now we have our home. Once the lock down is lifted, we look forward to sharing a drink.We're blessed to have met him and we are not surprised that he is the Specialist Broker for 2017, 2018, 2019. We're putting our money on him that he will be this years Specialist broker as well. Thank you again Jeff.

Jeff helped us secure our new home when our bank who we've been with for 7 years said no. Jeff took the time to explain the process and helped to chase me up on things needed for the loan as we were on a tight time frame,. Jeff was great and even helped me when it came to sorting out our lawyer who dropped the ball a few times. Thanks 🙂

Amazing, this is a very unique and special service. I was amazed at Bruce's skills and ability, his patience in responding to changes, ease of finding loans when the other banks had complex policies and introduced delays, and also the fact there was no other broker I could find in NZ who was able to do what he was able to do. Some of the other brokers who had been in the industry for 30 years said what Bruce did could not be done, well they were wrong. Also I should point out I used to be a mortgage broker, but in another country, Thank you Bruce, well done! You have a lifetime client. I look forward to being able to refer others to you, it's the least I can do.

Thank you to Bruce and team, we are so grateful for your support. As you know we don't live in NZ, and had to unexpectedly refinance our mortgage on a NZ property very quickly. Your focus, commitment, service, professionalism and results were second to none!! We are so pleased to have worked with you. You made it easy even though we were half a world away in London. I highly recommend you and will be in contact again as we seek to further refinance our property assets at other times.

I would like to highly recommend Bruce. I have dealt with him with my recent re-finance application and I found him extremely knowledgeable and never seen a broker who knew so much about loans. My application was tough one but he processed it with so much ease and was with me and helped me throughout the whole process. He understood my needs very well unlike banks they don't really care. He was wonderful to deal with and made a tough application possible!

What an absolute pleasure it was dealing with Jeff!!! He worked so very quickly, responded faster than any other broker I have used previously, helped us secure our mortgage, was very pleasant and helpful through the process!! We can’t say enough about how positive and helpful Jeff was and your absolutely insane not to AT LEAST chat to Jeff and see why he can do for your situation! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND WOULD REPEAT BUSINESS IN A HEART BEAT!

Hi JeffI want to thank you for a first class service. I have used other brokers in the past but none have ever got me a written offer of a mortgage so quickly. My circumstances have never made it easy to get finance but when I called you on the phone and explained my position you said no problem. To be honest I thought another broker promising the world but no within 24 hours you was true to your word and emailed me an offer. I cannot believe how easy you made the whole process. I highly recommend you and your company and am sure I will be using your services again.Gary

Bruce is amazing! I was beginning to think I wouldn't be able to get a mortgage. After a 7 days, the broker I was initially using, said he wasn't having any luck and it didn't look promising. I contacted iLender and within 24 hours Bruce had a mortgage offer for me.If you're looking for a mortgage I would highly recommend contacting Bruce at iLender, he is very friendly, knowledgeable and offers amazing customer service.

Thanks to Jeff we have been able to buy our dream home. The banks wouldn't touch us as we were buying from Australia, and we were turned down by two other brokers who apparently specialise in overseas buyers! It was looking hopeless, but Jeff secured us a great loan. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a mortgage who doesn't tick all the 'right' boxes for the banks. We will be using him again when we need to remortgage!
Virgo Starr
12:48 03 May 17
Nothing to fault with iLender. Bruce was friendly, very understanding of my situation and overall outstanding in his professionalism. Another bonus is the communication was excellent throughout the loan process. Wouldn't have gotten through any of it without him and his team. Will be dealing with Bruce and iLender in the future. Recommended to all. Need help with finances? Give Bruce a call. A++ 🙂

My husband and I have used Jeff's services at ILender three times, over the past several years. We kept going back to Jeff because he has provided quality, efficient service every time and successfully obtained the results we wanted. Plus, each experience was hassle-free which was a bonus because my husband travels a lot with his job. Jeff and his team are just awesome and I would certainly recommend him highly to others. Thanks Jeff.

Poor service. Very long process. Unorganised. Additional fees when a more better option is located. Very expensive process will never ever use these people ever again. Do not ever recommend to anyone no matter what your circumstances are.

Amazing team of people at iLender. I had no issues at all with them and as a first home buyer they made life easy for me. I appreciate the assistance they have given me. They answers questions promptly and are happy to deal with simple questions most first home buyers would have.All the people I dealt with had a great personality which made dealing with them even easier. I highly recommend iLender to all first home buyers.

These guys certainly earnt their money with me 🙂 I wasn't the most straight forward refinance they've ever had, and at the 11th hour when all seemed lost Cristina pulled a rabbit out of the hat. Great interest rate, and a comfortable refinance, matched with, after talking to a number of brokers for this, unparalleled customer service and dedication to their task. We will be back, and I'll be recommending them highly to any and all that are looking for lending. Cant express enough how simple they made the process during an incredibly stressful time in my life

Bruce was brilliant in securing our first mortgage. There were many areas that it could have fallen down, but Bruce negotiated them all successfully.The team at iLender dealt with us in a thorough and professional way and we couldn't have don it with out them. Highly recommended.

We can highly recommend Bruce and iLender. He really listened to us and gave us hope that we could actually buy a property with a 10% deposit. Bruce has been on the end of the phone whenever we needed and meet up with us also. Now we own our first property thanks to Bruce's kind and calm way about getting all the paperwork together for us! Thank You Bruce! Very happy first time buyers!Emma and Leon Foley

Thank you very much for assisting us. I can see why you have pages of positive reviews.We got below market rates and a higher cash payment than the banks were offering, all done quickly.

My home loan application was some what complex. Jeff was able to secure a loan for me where banks and other broker firms could not. This is a credit to his experience and knowledge.I enjoyed that he took time to educate me aspects of the financial market.In short informative, trustworthy and accountable.

Jeff Royle is extremely knowledgeable. He secured mortgage re-financing allowing us to progress a large-scale renovation project. Our situation was not straight-forward, but Jeff, unfazed, delivered the goods. I can not over-state our recommendation.
