Thanks for your response Richard.I will weigh up these options, but it seems I should go and speak with a financial planner to figure out which option is best to proceed. Perhaps we are better off renting for an additional year (the year my wife is off work) and then applying for the home loan.

As I think the first option would mean lower repayments.

Thanks Colin. I love the idea of buying a bomb in a good location, but try telling my wife that with a baby on the way. I'm thinking long term gains, she's thinking "i want it all now!'.
