    Hi cadan,

    the rule for FHOG is that you have to live in the property within 6 months of the 12 months of owing it. Only then you will qualify to receive it…

    Hope it helps…

    ING could be the way.  I just wrote one loan where client paid zero insurance on 85% lend.  Also Homeside are very flexible on their policy and depending on the deal may be able to waive some LMI.  Talk to your broker to discuss the possibility.

    Unfortunately, most of the lenders would only accept permanent Centrelink payments, such as Military/disability pensions or Family allowance. Newstart Allowance or Austudy are not generally accepted as a major income.
    You may still however try to use your IP as a major source of income, however that would most certainly lead to you loosing your Austudy benefits. One of the ways to go is to have someone else on the title.

    Hera,
    I agree with Qlds007 that before you go ahead with Lo/No Doc loans, a bit more work needs to be done to determine whether your “official” income is enough to service your loan. Talk to few mortgage brokers/banks and see what the best you can come up with.

    I think getting a straight deposit may be a problem because as I understand you both retired already. However, you may consider taking Reverse Mortgage against your property should 20% guarantee be no option to you.
    Providing you are both 60yo or older you should have no problems obtaining such finance, however prior advice from Centrelink (it may influence rate of pension you receiving) and financial and legal advisor is highly recommended.

    Also many lenders would be willing to consider your temp work providing you have been in the same industry long enough, 12-24 months depending on the lender.

    Hi SK,

    Have you considered First Home Owner Grant. Basically, if this is your first purchase and it is not for investment purposes you may be eligible to receive $7000 grant from the nsw government. The more money you put as a deposit the less costly the total purchase price would be for you. Believe it or not, but just $1 extra spent towards deposit may save you few thousands in Lender’s insurance.

    As to should you choose a broker or not. Why not? Give it a go. Many brokers these days would have few dosens lenders on the panel, so you would be offered a greater selection of the products.

    Hope this helps.

    Please feel free to call me if you have more questions.
