Reliable
Austar gets too many enquiries from property developers who have been promised funding only to find that the promised funding is not available when it is needed.
Austar has its own internal resources to fund loans. This means that when you get an approval letter from Austar, the money is guaranteed to be available when you satisfy the agreed settlement conditions.
Austar will not leave you frantically searching for funding when we have made a commitment.
Flexible
Every property project is different, yet lots of lenders draw a box they use to evaluate potential lending opportunities. With them, if your project happens to fit into the box, then you get the loan. If you fall outside the box, no matter how good your project is, you don’t get the loan.
Austar has the experience and expertise to look at each lending opportunity as a unique situation. We don’t rely on a box. We look at each project, identify the risks, measure them, and formulate a management plan. If we are comfortable with the result of this process we will offer you a loan.

WHAT WE DO
Types of Loans
Bridging Loans enable you to hold your development site while you finalise design, approval and contracts. Construction loans fund the construction phase using monthly drawdowns.
Bridging Loans
Sophisticated investors can invest in the Austar Selective Mortgage Trust and choose the specific loan they wish to invest in. Bridging loans are secured by a first ranking mortgage over real estate and have a defined repayment date. This means you know when you can get your investment capital returned. The specific terms for each loan are defined in a supplemental Information Memorandum that you can obtain from our investment team. Each loan provides a defined return paid into your account monthly.

You can choose the specific loan you want to invest in. Talk to our investment team and get a supplemental Information Memorandum with all the details of each loan. Your interest will be paid monthly to your nominated account.
