RedZed operates exclusively through a team of accredited highly qualified and experienced mortgage partners and select Aggregators.

Since they only work with a select group of mortgage partners, handpicked for their expertise, credibility and customer focus, you may not have heard of them.

They’re experts in finding solutions for Self Employed borrowers, lending to people with a low credit score, bad credit history, limited proof of income or people who want to buy a commercial property.

How do RedZed’s loans compare?

Pros

Cons

  • Interest rates and fees are higher than the banks
  • Their risk fee, similar to LMI, can be expensive depending on your borrowing needs
  • No branch network
  • They don't do construction loans
  • They can't help you if you have a low deposit

Why aren’t more brokers accredited with RedZed?

Firstly, RedZed isn’t on the panel of most mortgage broker groups, known as aggregators, and most mortgage brokers aren’t allowed by their aggregator to make direct agreements with lenders. This way they give a great experience to a small group of customers.

We’ve made an agreement with RedZed as they have some unique credit policies that aren’t available from other lenders. In particular their low doc loan and their commercial loans can help borrowers that can’t get a loan from any other lender.

What home loan products does RedZed offer?

RedZed has a range of variable rate mortgages. Their focus is on providing solutions to the Self Employed and for those individuals that may have had a history of credit impairment.

They offer the following loan options:

  • Residential loans to a maximum of 80% of the value of the security property and a maximum loan amount of $1.75 Million
  • Commercial loans up to a maximum of 70% of the value of the security property and a maximum loan amount of $3 Million

RedZed Client Story

Leigh, NSW

Goal

To release equity in property to fund renovation work on investment properties.

Situation

Low doc, investor, refinance, equity release.

Background

Following a painful divorce, Emily was able to build a new life for herself as a professional property investor.

Her main strategy was pure capital gains, buying real estate, renovating the property, and selling it at a higher price.

As her main source of income, Emily didn't have full financials to provide to get approved with a prime lender but she was able to finance her property purchase with specialist lender RedZed instead.

Having grown her investment portfolio substantially, she needed extra funds to renovate some properties she recently purchased and needed to release some equity in her owner-occupied mortgage.

Solution

By staying with RedZed, Emily was able to release $280,000 at 70% of the property value and only needed to provide one accountant's letter to prove her income.

The other great thing about RedZed that made it easy for Emily was that she was able to release equity by providing a stated purpose, which is a typical requirement for most banks.

As a low doc borrower, a Risk Fee was applied even though the Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) was under 70% of the property value.

However, RedZed have one of the lowest low doc interest rates on the market so Emily was happy to pay the cost and start work on her investment properties.
