There are plenty of ways to borrow 100% without paying LMI. Buying under market is just one.

sorry about that, this is insders reply ..!!!
my question to insider ,what do you mean by buying under market?,buying a property that is for sale under market value,or what . I am currently living in Perth and as far as I have seen all the propery,s are over valued..
I suggest you will need a good broker like Terry as most lenders will only lend on the lower of the valuation or purchase price. Unless of course there is a compelling reason such as a very extended settlement or a family discount situation.
Borrowing 20% from family then refinance to recover that down the track is an idea.
I agree buying under market at the moment is very hard. The best way to do it is borrow the 20% deposit from someone & then as Terry said refinance it out down the track. That is exactly what I am going to do when I go & buy buy& holds in NZ.
You also can use your parent equity as 2nd security to borrow more than 100%. And down the track when your IPs reach such amount you can ask the bank to release the 2nd security.
Kind regards

Insider is correct. Buying undervalued is one way however…Many Banks consider the selling price as the “market value” and won’t finance at the “lower than market price” valuation amount. .
If you are an established customer or use a broker however, its much easier.
The other problem is that when you buy undervalued you need to be careful of what you say to the vendor prior to signing contracts as you may spook them into not exchanging contacts.
Also make sure that the contracts dont have any loopholes that allow them to rescind for some obscure reason when you know its really greed kicking in when they find out that their selling price is too low.
You can also find any hidden assets on the property you want to purchase; say on a deceased estate there is an old vintage car in bad condition in the back of a garage now to the right person, a car enthusiast its worth money and you may get them to give a deposit and when the house is yours they take it away, also works with antique furniture.[8D].
Or on a large block check if you can subdive it to raise money, you just have to have a settlement on the same day.
I take no credit for these they are based on Robert Allens book “Nothing Down”
Good luck trying though. I tried with Rams and was so worn out in the end I gave up.
I swore they wouldnt wear me down but they did…and I decided to get on with my life ans let it go.
Everyone tells me I should have demanded action but its easy to spruke what you would do in another mans shoes. The facts of life are that sometimes the time and effort (and greef) isnt worth it.
I’m sorry,as you seem like a great guy, but about St George I believe you are incorrect.
The 2.5% genuine savings needed is to cover LMI, which is 2.5%.
Also, you can use your FHOG instead of genuine savings. You just have to service at a higher rate, meaning less borrowing power.
There is another 100% product just released, where you don’t need genuine savings, no min income, no min assest.
They also accept FHOG to cover costs. LMI 2.5%
They generally lend a fair bit higher than St george, but rate is higher too, 7.9%.
