First home buyer
Rentvesting can help get a foot in the front door: your client buys a property and rents it out. They might live interstate, rent or board with parents.
Owns a property, but new to investing
Your client could rent out their place as an investment property or buy somewhere else and rent that out instead.
Ready for their next investment property
Whatever their portfolio needs more of – acreage, a new granny flat, or something else – you could help make it happen.

This information is general in nature and has been prepared without taking your objectives, needs and overall financial situation into account. For this reason, you should consider the appropriateness of the information to your own circumstances and, if necessary, seek appropriate professional advice.
#Advantage Package: Terms & Conditions (PDF 648KB) apply. A $395 annual package fee applies and is payable from an eligible St.George transaction account. Before deciding to acquire a St.George transaction account, read the terms & conditions, and consider if the product is right for you.
*Redraw facility: if you have 'available funds' (you’re ahead on your home loan repayments) and you’ve activated your redraw facility, you’re free to redraw them with no redraw fee. Up to $100k will be available to redraw from your variable loan online or over the phone each day (in-branch it’s $30k). For fixed loans you can redraw up to your prepayment threshold during your fixed term. Read our Home Loan Redraw Form (PDF 83KB) for full details.
**Home and Landlord Insurance: Advantage Package customers may be eligible for an ongoing premium discount of up to 10% on their St.George Home and Landlord Insurance policies. If you are also eligible for a combined or other policy discount, Allianz will apply the Package discount to the already discounted premium. This means the effect will be reduced. If you purchase your policy online, the Package discount will be applied after purchase and Allianz will inform you of your revised premium (this may take up to 3 months). Allianz will then provide a refund for premium paid annually or provide a pro rata refund and reduce your remaining monthly instalments. If you take out an Advantage Package after your policy has been issued, then the Package discount will apply from your next renewal. Discounts do not apply to optional covers for Domestic/Landlord workers’ compensation (if available and selected). Any discounts may be subject to rounding and do not apply to taxes or government charges.

If you take out Home and Contents Insurance with Allianz the Bank will receive a commission of up to 12% of the premium (exclusive of GST).
***Interest in Advance: a discount of 0.2% p.a. will apply only if the Interest in Advance amount is deducted from a St.George transaction account. Interest must be paid in advance annually for each chosen fixed rate term to receive this rate. If after the first year of a fixed rate term interest is no longer paid in advance, the Interest in Advance discount will be removed for subsequent years.
