Want to secure your duplex investment smarter and faster?
Getting your finance pre-approved BEFORE seeking an investment quote is a strategic move that sets the foundation for your entire investment journey. With pre-approval in place, you unlock better opportunities, faster decisions, and a streamlined process.
Here’s why smart investors start with pre-approval BEFORE seeking a fixed-price quote:
1. Know your budget with absolute certainty
Without pre-approval, you’re relying on guesses and assumptions. With it, you’re working with facts.
Knowing exactly what you can borrow means you can focus only on properties that fit your financial situation, and strategise accordingly.
It avoids the common pitfall of wasting time on packages that aren’t feasible. It also helps ensure that every step you take is aligned to your financial long-term goals from the outset.
2. Now you can move quickly when opportunities arise
Finance pre-approval ensures you’re ready to act when the right property comes along.
Duplex opportunities offering strong rental yields and long-term growth potential don’t stay available for long.
Without pre-approval, you may find yourself caught in delays – unable to move forward while others secure the best options. Having your finance organised means you can move quickly, based on clear knowledge of your position.
3. Packages tailored to your strategy
Finance pre-approval enables you to take a more strategic approach to your property investment.
When your financial position is clear, we can match you with investment packages that align with your borrowing capacity, cash flow requirements, and long-term goals.
Rather than guessing, you receive options specifically curated to maximise your return on investment – in the optimal locations, with the right designs.
4. A streamlined, stress-free process
Finance Pre-approval removes the friction from the quoting and contracting stages.
With finances ready, there’s no need for conditional pricing, reworking packages, or stalling the process. We can move straight into preparing a fixed price proposal that fits your real financial position.
That means less uncertainty, fewer delays, and a much clearer pathway to securing your investment.
5. Confidence to invest strategically
Having your finance sorted in advance changes your entire investment approach.
With pre-approval in hand, you’re making decisions based on facts, not guesswork. It gives you the confidence to evaluate opportunities rationally, act strategically, and position yourself for long-term investment success.

Getting your finance pre-approval RIGHT matters.
You don’t just need finance. You need the right finance.
And, not all finance brokers are created equal.
Some will cross-collateralise your assets just to get the loan over the line. Others simply don’t understand how investment income, rental yields, or duplex strategies impact borrowing power.
These decisions can seriously limit your future options.
That’s why we recommend working with a broker who’s experienced specifically in duplex investment finance. One who knows how to structure your finance properly – not just for this investment, but to set you up for the next one.
RPG can introduce you to preferred brokers who are across the way duplexes are built, how duplex investment packages work, and how to avoid costly finance mistakes. Our broker partners know how to extract equity, structure loans cleanly, and protect your ability to grow a portfolio.
Of course, you’re more than welcome to use your own broker too, no problems. But whoever you choose – make sure they’re not just “any finance person”:
Choose someone who’s experienced with the nuances of duplex investments.
Let’s talk about some common concerns…
- “But my lender said I need a fixed price first.”
Some lenders request more detailed figures early in the process. But confirming your borrowing capacity upfront is essential. We can provide indicative pricing examples if needed – but it’s vital to first know where you stand financially so that you’re ready for a fixed price proposal.
- “I’m cautious about sharing financial information.”
That’s understandable, we get it. But dealing with finance professionals means your information is protected under strict confidentiality laws. As an investor, being comfortable with discussing the numbers and your financial position is such an important step toward achieving your long term financial goals.
- “I just want a rough idea of costs before getting finances.”
We can certainly provide an indicative package (like any other builder). But remember, without confirmed finance, any figures are only part of the true picture. True investing confidence comes from working with real numbers.

How to get your finance pre-approval sorted
You have two straightforward options, both are fine:
- 1 – Speak with your current lender or broker, or
