Yousof Ahmadzai is the Head Broker of FlintInvest - Flint’s professional investor client network - and a specialist in helping property investors structure finance, scale portfolios and move quickly when opportunity appears. After eight years across CBA and ANZ, Yousof moved into broking and has quickly become one of the most active investor-focused brokers in the country.
But this conversation goes well beyond investor lending.
Yousof breaks down how FlintInvest settled $260 million in FY26, how he personally generated more than $105 million in settlements, and why professional investor clients need a very different level of structure, speed and post-settlement strategy. He talks through lender sequencing, borrowing capacity, equity releases, 90% LVR strategies, third-tier lenders, SMSF pathways, and why great investor broking is not just about getting one loan approved, it is about building the next three to five moves before the client even buys.
If you’re a mortgage broker, brokerage owner or finance professional trying to understand investor lending, build better referral ecosystems and scale without losing client experience — this one’s for you.
