Rent advances for Geelong landlords

Available across Geelong

Property owners throughout Geelong, Newtown, Belmont, Ocean Grove and the Bellarine can apply. Eligibility is about the property and the tenancy rather than the postcode:

• A residential investment property with a licensed managing agent
• A verified lease with the tenant paying on time
• Held by an individual, joint owners, a company or a family trust (SMSF isn't eligible)

Why Geelong landlords advance rent

Geelong's investor base grew quickly through Melbourne's spillover, and many landlords here are managing the same Victorian land tax and minimum-standards costs on lower rents — which makes cash-flow timing tighter, not looser.

• Victorian land tax — covering the assessment on a lower rental base
• Minimum standards compliance — funding heating and safety upgrades
• Renovation — lifting rent on older Geelong stock

An illustrative Geelong property

Uses 4.33 weeks per month. Agent fees are an editable example, not a market quote. All deductions, dates and rent must be verified. The landlord receives no regular net rent from this property during the purchased period.

An example, not a local market rent estimate. Your figure depends on your actual rent and the months you choose. One fee, shown in dollars before you commit to anything, recovered from the rent itself through your property manager. If rent stops or expenses change, your signed agreement governs the shortfall. The purchased period is not automatically extended. This is not rent insurance.

How it works in practice

1. Start with an online estimate, then provide the details needed for verification
2. Your Geelong property manager confirms the lease through a verification link
3. You review the offer, sign electronically, and we confirm funding timing after all checks and payment directions are complete
