In this episode of the Home Buyers Australia podcast, Jack Corbett and Damien Walker unpack one of the most crucial aspects of buying a home: the deposit. If you’re confused about the schemes out there, and want to find out just how much deposit you’ll need to get onto the property ladder, this episode is for you.
You’ll hear about the advantages and disadvantages of different deposit sizes, the implications of lenders’ mortgage insurance (LMI), and strategies for both first-home buyers and families upgrading their homes. They discuss why banks require deposits and explain the various options out there, from the standard 20% to the government-backed schemes that allow you to enter the market with as little as 5%.
Jack and Damo will get you to up to speed with the jargon you’ll encounter, and give hope for first time buyers that their starter home may be more achievable than they think.
