Meet Steven

Steven has always taken a practical approach to property investing. Based in Hervey Bay with his wife Natasha, he has built experience across owner-occupied and investment lending, choosing properties that make sense for his lifestyle and long-term financial goals.

His most recent purchase was an investment property located in close proximity to his home. For Steven, the appeal was clear: the property was close by, easy to manage and well suited to being run as an Airbnb. Because it was nearby, he could take a hands-on approach without needing a property manager in between.

The purchase came about through an off-market opportunity. Steven and his wife had been speaking with the owners for some time, knowing they were considering selling. When the owners were ready, they gave Steven a price, and he was comfortable moving ahead.

Steven had been looking for an Airbnb-style investment close to home, so the property was a strong fit. It gave him the chance to expand his investment plans while keeping the day-to-day management simple.

• Steven wanted to grow his investment portfolio with a property that suited his long-term plans.
• He needed an investment that would be simple to manage alongside his work and family commitments.
• He wanted a loan option that remained competitive on rate.
• He was looking for a lender he could trust after more than a decade of property lending experience.

“I’ve been with loans.com.au since around 2013, and I’ve kept coming back because the rates have been good and the service has worked for us”

• loans.com.au helped Steven finance an investment property located in close proximity of his home.
• The property’s location made it easy for Steven to manage himself as an Airbnb.
• loans.com.au gave Steven a very competitive rate.
• Steven was able to continue working with a lender he already knew and trusted.

For Steven, rate was one of the main reasons he continued to choose loans.com.au. Steven’s experience shows how a practical lending solution can support customers with clear property goals. His investments are carefully chosen, close to home and structured to suit his long-term plans.

His latest investment property gave him the chance to expand into Airbnb-style accommodation while keeping management simple. Because the property is close to his primary place of residence, Steven can look after it himself without relying on a property manager.

For Steven, the value of loans.com.au has been a combination of competitive rates, familiarity and confidence in a lender he has worked with since 2013.

“I’ve been with loans.com.au since around 2013, and I’ve kept coming back because the rates have been good and the service has worked for us. loans.com.au helped us get the loan in place, gave us a great rate, and made it possible for us to keep moving with our property plans.”
