Introduction
Thank you for your enquiry regarding the licensing opportunities with Investor Finance.
A Investor Finance Strategists Story…
‘One of the things I realised as I was developing my own investment strategies was that working in a JOB that I didn’t really enjoy (even though I was earning a lot of money) was not the smartest way to invest my days. I came to understand the concept of “Work to Learn” not just “Work to Earn”. Since then my investing strategies started to really take off.
I know what it’s like to step out of a comfort zone and look at the opportunity to build something and then put it down because the current situation is secure (I left a $150,000 income to build a successful finance broking business) so, if this opportunity is not you, I suggest you take some time confirming that what you do today is in fact helping you to achieve the goals and aspirations you seek.
The transition from working for someone else to working for yourself is daunting but I can tell you (as someone that took that plunge) that building a business for yourself and your family has many great benefits attached. IF’s business model doesn’t fit every one, you need to enjoy people, be passionate about building your client’s investment portfolio, be financially literate and have a tenacity to work hard for your clients with the banks. Good luck on your journey!’
One of the greatest benefits in becoming a Licensee with Investor Finance is the residual or trail income you generate as you work with like-minded individuals who are on the investment journey just like you. The banks pay us as Finance Brokers an upfront income when you settle a loan for your client and, importantly, they pay us an ongoing income stream for the life of the loan being managed by you, the Licensee. This income stream ensures that each month, as you grow your business, the passive income continues to grow generating an annuity style asset.
In addition you can earn income from a number of other streams by being part of a larger, diversified business group. Investor Finance is owned by Reign Financial Pty Ltd which owns another brand, Investor Insured, and is also part of the Reign Group of companies. The Reign Group owns other complimentary businesses including Investor Property and Investor Networx. This means that as a Licensee you can offer access to the numerous services needed by your client (such as property sourcing, education and risk insurance) knowing that they are being looked after by like-minded professionals while earning generous referral fees at no additional cost to the client.
Another great benefit of the Reign Group is a single vision and leadership. The Directors, Kristyn Usher (a former multiple branch owner, field support officer and several times Strategist of the year) and Mal Cayley (former General Manager) ensure the cohesiveness and cross referral activity of the Group.
If you would like to know more we invite you to meet with one of our team to discuss the opportunity in more detail.
Wishing you great investing and we look forward to discussing this opportunity with you further.
Background
Investor Finance is a finance broking company with Strategists (our specialist finance brokers) located across Australia. Our Support Office is located on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.
Founded in February 2004, the brand was purchased by Reign Financial Pty Ltd in 2008 who restructured the business to meet industry changes as a result of the Sub-prime Crisis and subsequent Global Financial Crisis.
Rebuilt for the new era in finance, the model allows for a high degree of support and an improved earning capacity for Strategist Licensees.
Reign Financial (trading as Investor Finance) is a full member of the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia (MFAA – formerly the MIAA). While we are seen to be in the general mortgage broking market, put simply, Investor Finance is focused on the business of finance for property investors. Our typical clients are investors with multiple properties, as well as those just entering the residential property investment market (we do of course look after first home buyers and those only looking to purchase a home to live in).
Our three-part vision statement encompasses how Investor Finance and its Licensees are working together to build our clients’ portfolios, our business and the Investor Finance brand.
Vision
‘To help local investors exceed their property investing dreams through the intense support of an extremely profitable distribution network’
We are dedicated to our clients. Our aim is to help them imagine and achieve an extremely profitable lifestyle. We do this by building successful Strategists through our support network.
‘To build the IF brand through like-minded motivated business owners’
Our aim is to build our brand with individuals who are motivated, visionary, entrepreneurial, disciplined and excited about our business – which is ultimately their business.
‘To enjoy the journey through interdependence within the IF family’
Investor Finance is successful because our people are successful. Our Strategists can only be successful by helping our clients achieve their investment goals. In turn our clients are reliant upon our expertise to help them get there. We are closely dependent on each other for success.
Building a successful Investor Finance Strategist business is about building long term relationships – between you, your referral sources (we call them affiliates), your clients and us. It’s a journey together. We’re committed to taking the steps to success with you, to working together to build your business and seeing you enjoy the rewards.

What We Look For
Our greatest asset is our people. We are a person to person business
and seek the following qualities in all of our team members:
I – Investment Mindset
An Investment ‘mindset’ is key to being successful within the Investor Finance model. You will be constantly dealing with active property investors, so you will need to understand the fundamentals of investing.
It is important for you to think outside the square and understand the mind-sets of both single and multi-property investors.
N – Numeracy
Having a flair for numbers is an advantage in this industry. You don’t have to be a mathematician, however the greater your numeracy and organizational skills, the easier you will find it to deal with clients and structure their portfolio. Being able to break down a deal into its parts and explain a solution to your clients is paramount for your success in this industry.
N – Nurture
While our core business is writing loans, our true position is that of a mentor or coach. We guide our clients through their investing journey through answering their “what ifs” and keeping them informed. You need to be passionate about helping others to grow in their investing.
V – Vibe
We are passionate about property and passionate about people.
We look for those individuals who not just share this passion, but it is visible. As a sales based organisation our Strategists have the capacity to share passion, enthusiasm and knowledge to win the respect and trust of their clients.
E – Equity
As you build your business you must ensure you have enough funds to get you through to the stage where you are earning an appropriate amount to support your lifestyle. Although Strategists can achieve good returns much earlier, we recommend having enough equity or cash available to support your joining fees, resources and lifestyle for 6-12 months to ensure your focus remains on growing your business.
S – Sales
Knowing how to sell yourself and the solutions you create is how you will win your client’s business. Being able to sell yourself to local businesses will win you affiliates, and therefore clients. You must have the capacity to build and grow your circle of influence. Confidence and the ability to build long term relationships are key to being a successful Finance Strategist.
T – Tenacity
You will need to be prepared to go the extra mile for your clients.
Do not take no for an answer. Persistence is key. Fight every battle with success in mind.
T – Trip
Ability to handle the ups and downs of this business is very important. You will experience many highs and lows on your business journey, especially in the initial stages, and you need to be able to manage these. The advantage of joining IF is that we are there with you – to lift you up during the lows and celebrate with you when things go well.
