Firstly welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy your time with us.
I hate to say I am not convinced you would get a 95% lvr being your first IP purchase as you won’t stack up well on credit scoring and without owning other property unlikely the mortgage insurers will approve it.
You are also correct that with the odd exception all lenders require a minimum of 5% genuine savings however in saying this there are many ways around this.
This also goes with the renovation monies as depending on the costs of the reno there are always of raising this.
You have to understand that finance is not easy when you start out and getting the loan ad structure right is more important that the interest rate or application fee etc.

Sorry Jasmine that statement is clearly not correct.
There are more benefits for the client if they invest in new property or off the plan
If the property is 1 month old then the difference in Tax deductible claims i.e Depreciation benefits / Capital allowance are almost identical.
The Stamp Duty saving on the Transfer only applies to properties in Victoria.
In every other State it is the same.
Course you have to offset the potential Stamp Duty saving to the possibility the property is overpriced due to the commissions being paid to 3rd parties.
The Stamp duty is not a Tax deductible claim so relatively little difference over time.

Simple answer is Yes and there is no difference to taking out a Private loan or a loan from an established lending institution.
A formal loan agreement would be drawn up setting out the Terms & Conditions of the advance and your would claim the interest paid as a deductible expense.
In turn your hubby would declare this as income.
Of course if the rate he charged you was the same as he was receiving then his Tax position would be neutral.
For the purposes of the response i am assuming the funds would be used for investment.

Firstly you wouldn’t get 95% lend on 4/5 properties so don’t waste time going down that path.
As Jacqui wisely said it depends on a number of factors and what is right for one member would not be right for another with totally different aims and objectives.
I own 43 properties in a variety of entities and with next to no debt (in fact Nil from next Friday) so for me $125K would be 1 months Gross rents however someone starting out could sensibly with some planning and financial discipline start a portfolio with that sort of deposit.
Without indepth knowledge of the posters requirements a response if fairly aimless.
