"We were referred to Brian after a disastrous experience with a finance company. Brian was calm, patient, knowledgeable and did not hesitate to step in to ensure all our needs were met for our SMSF purchase. It's rare to find someone who honours their word, but Brian truly fulfilled every promise he made to us during the process."

Buying your first home is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make. At Integrated Finance Group, we guide first home buyers through every step — from understanding how much you can borrow to navigating government grants, stamp duty concessions and settlement day.
We have extensive experience helping first home buyers across Coburg, Essendon, Pascoe Vale, Moonee Ponds, Brunswick and surrounding suburbs access competitive home loans and make the most of available government support schemes.
As MFAA accredited brokers, we can lodge applications through the Australian Government's 5% Deposit Scheme on your behalf, making the process as straightforward as possible.
The Australian Government's Home Guarantee Scheme helps eligible buyers purchase a home with a lower deposit — without paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI), saving up to $30,000. Visit the official government website →
Buy your first home with just a 5% deposit — the government guarantees the remaining 15%, so you avoid LMI entirely.

Applications must be submitted through an authorised participating lender or via an accredited mortgage broker. Current participating lenders include:
Not all lenders offer all guarantee types. For the current list visit Housing Australia's website. As your broker, we'll match you with the right participating lender.
Our team will assess your eligibility, identify the right scheme and manage the entire application process. There's no cost to you.
Could a refinance save you thousands? We review your current loan and find you a better deal at no cost to you.
Many Australians are paying more on their home loan than they need to. Lenders consistently offer better rates to new customers than to loyal existing ones. Refinancing is one of the most effective ways to reduce your repayments, access equity, or consolidate debt.
At Integrated Finance Group, we conduct a free, no-obligation loan health check to assess your current position. If we can find you a better deal, we manage the entire refinancing process on your behalf — paperwork, lender negotiations and all.
We work with clients across Coburg, Essendon, Pascoe Vale, Moonee Ponds and the broader Melbourne North West region, as well as Geelong and the Bellarine.
Review your owner-occupied or investment home loan. We search 30+ lenders to find a lower rate or better structure.
Combine personal loans, car finance and credit cards into a single home loan repayment — often resulting in significant monthly savings.
Access the equity built up in your home to fund renovations, an investment property purchase, or other financial goals.
We'll review your current loan and compare it against current market rates. If there's a better deal, we'll find it and manage the switch for you — at no cost.
Build wealth through property with expert guidance on structuring, lender selection and portfolio growth.
Investment property lending is more complex than standard home loans. Lenders assess rental income differently, serviceability calculations vary, and loan structure has significant tax implications. Getting the structure right from the start can save you tens of thousands over the life of your investment.
Our team works closely with property investors — from first-time buyers purchasing their first investment, through to experienced investors with multiple properties or complex SMSF structures. We take the time to understand your investment strategy and structure your finance accordingly.
We regularly refer clients to trusted accountants, property advisors and conveyancers in our professional network.
Guidance for first-time property investors — deposit requirements, rental yield, loan structures and the full buying process.
Already own investment properties? We help you access equity and structure further purchases efficiently.
Commercial lending is specialised. Our team has deep experience across all commercial asset classes.
Specialist finance solutions for business owners, contractors and the self-employed — including low documentation options.
Self-employed applicants face different challenges when applying for finance. Standard income verification — payslips and group certificates — don't apply when you run your own business. Many lenders also add LMI loading or rate premiums for self-employed applicants, even when the application is strong.
Our team has extensive experience working with self-employed clients, sole traders, company directors, contractors and small business owners. We know which lenders have the most favourable policies and how to present your application in the strongest possible light.
For business owners with non-standard income documentation, we also have access to low-doc and alt-doc loan products through specialist lenders.
Standard documentation — two years of tax returns and financials. Access the full lender panel and most competitive rates.
For business owners with non-standard income documentation. We match you with specialist lenders who understand your situation.
Finance for business property, equipment, working capital or expansion — structured around your business cash flow.
Buy your next home before selling your current one — without the stress of a forced sale or missed opportunity.
A bridging loan provides short-term finance that allows you to purchase your new home before you've sold your existing property. Rather than being forced to sell first and potentially rent in between, a bridging loan gives you the flexibility to move at your own pace.
Bridging loans are typically interest-only during the bridging period (usually 6–12 months), with repayments capitalising until your existing property sells. Once sold, the bridge is repaid and your end debt — the ongoing mortgage — is established.
Not all lenders offer bridging finance and policies vary significantly. Our team will identify the most suitable option for your situation.
The sooner we assess your situation, the more options we have available. Contact us before you make an offer on your next property.
Competitive vehicle and equipment finance with access to all major brands — plus expert assistance sourcing and selling vehicles.
Our team has extensive experience and an extensive network across vehicle and asset finance lenders throughout Australia. We have strong relationships with the full spectrum of lenders — from major banks to specialist non-bank lenders — ensuring our clients consistently access the most competitive rates available in the market.
Our experience spans all types of assets and vehicles — from personal cars and utes through to trucks, trailers, excavators, cranes, forklifts and commercial fit-outs. No matter what you're looking to finance, we have the lender relationships and product knowledge to get the deal done.
Vehicle Sourcing: We have industry contacts across all major vehicle brands and dealerships. Whether you're after a new car, used vehicle, or specific commercial equipment, we can connect you with trusted sources to ensure you get a fair price and the right vehicle.

Mortgage brokers are paid by the lender, not by you. When your loan settles, the lender pays us an upfront commission and an ongoing trailing commission for the life of the loan. In almost all cases there is no fee charged to you as the borrower. We are legally required to disclose all commissions we receive.
From initial enquiry to formal approval typically takes 2–4 weeks, depending on the lender, your documentation and application complexity. Settlement timelines are then set by the contract of sale. We can expedite applications where needed and will always give you realistic timelines upfront.
Typically: proof of identity (driver's licence, passport), recent payslips, employment contract or letter, last 2 years tax returns (self-employed), last 3–6 months bank statements, asset and liability statements, and details of the property. We'll give you a personalised checklist based on your situation.
LMI is an insurance premium charged by lenders when you borrow more than 80% of a property's value (i.e. deposit is less than 20%). It protects the lender — not you — in case of default. The First Home Guarantee Scheme allows eligible buyers to avoid LMI with just a 5% deposit.
Yes — through the Australian Government's First Home Guarantee Scheme, eligible first home buyers can purchase with just a 5% deposit without paying LMI. Single parents may qualify with 2%. Standard lending allows a minimum of 5% deposit, but LMI will apply unless you meet scheme criteria or have a guarantor.
A fixed rate locks your interest rate for a set period (usually 1–5 years), giving you certainty on repayments. A variable rate moves in line with the RBA cash rate and lender pricing. Many borrowers choose a split loan — fixing a portion while keeping the rest variable.
An offset account is a transaction account linked to your home loan. The balance reduces the principal on which interest is calculated. For example, with a $500,000 loan and $50,000 in offset, you only pay interest on $450,000 — one of the most effective ways to reduce your overall mortgage cost.
Yes. Self-employed borrowers can refinance, though documentation requirements differ. We work with lenders who understand self-employed income and can assess your application on full-doc and low-doc/alt-doc bases depending on your situation.
A pre-approval is a lender's confirmation they are willing to lend you up to a certain amount, subject to a property being identified. We recommend getting pre-approved before making offers — it gives you confidence that your finance is in order and strengthens your negotiating position.
Your borrowing capacity depends on your income, expenses, existing debts, credit history, deposit size and the lender's servicing policy. Every lender calculates this differently. Use our Calculators page for a guide, but the best way to understand your actual capacity is through a free consultation with our team.
