What is Finbase's track record loss of investor capital?

Finbase has a strong track record of preserving investor capital and has not experienced any loss of investor capital or interest to date. We have strict risk management policies and procedures in place. Past performance is not a guarantee of future success.

What is a first mortgage?

A first mortgage is a loan secured against the borrower's primary asset, such as a house or commercial property. The lender is given priority over any other creditors. In the event of default, the lender has the right to repossess and sell the property in order to recoup their losses.

What exactly am I investing in? Is it real estate or the loan?

You are investing in a loan secured against real estate. The loan is an asset-backed investment, which means that the invested funds are secured with a first ranking mortgage over the property used as security. Investors receive interest payments on their capital at regular intervals or as agreed upon by Finbase and the investor prior to making the investment.

What type of borrowers are these funds being lent to?

Finbase lends funds to companies, trusts and individuals with experience in dealing with real estate. We also lend funds to developers for the purpose of bridging or refurbishing existing properties. We carefully assess each borrower’s asset and loan requirements before any loan is approved, and we only offer loans that we deem suitable for our investors.

What is the maximum Loan-to-value Ratio you lend up to?

The maximum LVR we lend up to is 60% of the property value. This helps to ensure that investor capital is secure in times of any market downturn or other unforeseen circumstances.

Is Finbase a Registered Financial Service Provider?

Yes, Finbase is a Registered Financial Service Provider (FSP1003560). We are registered with the Financial Markets Authority and work to comply with all applicable laws.
