It’s not just about the interest rate. It’s about the strategy.
The Commercial Bank Loan – The Steady Marathon Runner
- Best For: Long-term holds (5–30 years).
- The Perk: The lowest interest rates in the market (currently starting from ~5.85%).
- The Catch: Stricter “Full Doc” requirements, lower LVRs (typically 65–75%), and a slow approval process (4–8 weeks).
- Verdict: Use this when you have time on your side and “perfect” financials.
Private Lending – The High-Octane Sprinter
- Best For: Time-sensitive flips, urgent settlements, or “outside the box” scenarios.
- The Perk: Speed. Funding can happen in 1–2 weeks. They focus on the asset value, not just your tax returns.
- The Catch: Higher rates (typically 8–11%) and shorter terms (usually 6–24 months).
- Verdict: Use this to seize an opportunity today that the bank would take 2 months to approve.
