    We moved to Australia a couple of years on parent visas. We are 62 and 56. I work full-time but in a stable casual role. My wife started working as a part-time casual. Together we make around $5.5k/month to $6k/month (after taxes). Don’t have any debts, liabilities etc. We plan on working for at least the next 8 to 10 years.

    Have some assets overseas but don’t want to touch them for the next 5+ years. Looking to a buy a PPOR around $400k. What are our chances? I looked into a few pathways:
    1) Investment loan then move in after the purchase – Probably needs very low LVRs and lot of convincing.
    2) PPOR loan – Probably need super low LVRs and apparently it’s unlikely that we’ll get approved.
    3) Keystart – Just read about this – don’t know if they have any age limits and such.
    4) Look into vendor financing schemes
    5) Wait several years, sell assets and buy over here but the house prices MAY go up quite a bit and the exchange rate is never predictable.

    Any other options or hurdles you guys can think of? Thanks.

    So long as you have a sufficient deposit and meeting serviceability, it’s not that hard at all if the right lenders are used – one of our clients were just approved for their first homes at age 62 & 60 respectively. Have a chat with a broker who can have an indepth looking into your situation and advise of the options available to you.

    Hi Newstart

    Firstly welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy your time with us.

    Age is certainly no barrier to borrowing as long as we can show that you can support the repayments once you have retired.

    Actually did a loan for forum member last month in a very similar position to yourself.

    Going to need a deposit and sufficient funds to cover your purchase costs but assuming your income is regular no reason why you cant get on the property band wagon.

    Feel free to ask any questions if you feel we can help further.

    Cheers

    Age doesn’t automatically preclude you from getting a loan.

    If it’s a PPOR purchase – you may need to demonstrate an ability to repay the debt over a shorter term and/or have sufficient assets in place that you can liquidate to pay off the PPOR debt if/when needed.

    For an IP – it’s a lot easier as the property can be sold and debt paid out.

    Cheers

    Jamie
