First home

“New PR, 5% deposit
still got the Sydney house.”

We had PR for six months and only a 5% deposit — two of the big four said no. Mitchell lined up the Home Guarantee Scheme plus the NSW FHOG and we were pre-approved in a week.

The Nguyen family · Ryde, NSW · Purchase price $1.08M
Portfolio refinance

“Five properties, one
coherent structure.”

Our portfolio was spread across three lenders and cashflow was tight. Arrivau consolidated everything with one lender, saved $8,400 a year in interest and freed up a deposit for the next purchase.

Dr Chen · Glen Waverley, VIC · Portfolio value $4.2M
