Master Limits 101: The Smart Debt Structure Every Property Investor Should Understand


Listen Later

In this episode of Wealth Coffee Chats, guest host Sarah Shome breaks down one of the most powerful — yet often misunderstood — tools used by sophisticated property investors: the master limit structure. Sarah explains how this flexible, pre-approved credit umbrella helps investors clearly separate loan purposes, maintain ATO-friendly documentation, and maximise tax deductibility of interest. She also explores how master limits create faster access to equity, reduce the need for constant refinancing, and streamline efficient debt recycling so investors can transform non-deductible debt into productive investment debt. Sarah kicks off with a quick market recap, including Australia’s surprise unemployment drop, its impact on RBA rate-cut expectations, and how strong rental demand continues to drive investor lending activity.
