What are the interest rates for first mortgages?
A first mortgage private loan is usually more expensive than a bank on face value based off interest rates, but it is cheaper in terms of the opportunity cost. As private lenders take on deals and more risk that a bank can't take on, helping borrowers to get funds when they otherwise can't.
Think of the upside of solving your cashflow problems, or being able to take advantage of business opportunities and the profit you’d make if you had access to capital!
Usually private loans work on a 4% to 8% margin that is higher than BBSW rate / RBA rate. Depending on the asset class, risk, term of the loan and LVR of the loan.
What this means for borrowers, is that as interest rates go up at a bank level, many private lenders become more competitive with a bank rate, as the difference between bank rates and private rates gets smaller. The cost of capital usually depends on where capital is sourced from, which is why we source capital from a family office to get you the lowest cost of capital.

What is the difference between a first mortgage and second mortgage loan?
A mortgage is a registered security interest a lender such as a bank or private financing company has over your property. A first ranked mortgage, aka first mortgage means that lender ranks ahead of all other lenders. Because their security position is very secure, the pricing of these loans is very cheap.
A second mortgage loan, means the second mortgage lender ranks behind the interests of a first mortgage lender. This means they are the mercy of the financial terms of the first mortgage lender, and the remaining equity available to them, after the first mortgage lender has taken their financial interest.
Because second mortgage loans carry more risk, they are priced higher than first mortgage loans. Second mortgage loans solve certain business problems, and should be used in certain instances. You can read more about our second mortgages here.
