    hi everyone :)
    hubby and i are looking at purchasing our first home but im really affraid we have missed our boat :(
    long story short 10 years ago we went bankrupt over cars.
    since then weve learnt alot, but is it too late?
    so heres our situation hopefully someone can shed a few answers for us :)
    we both currently work with hubby bringing home $1400 F/N  and myself about $1000 after tax
    we have 2 children
    we only have about $5k deposit
    We rent from inlaws ( this is the killer and i really need to get out of here for my own sanity ) and need out asap

    is it possible? would banks looks at us? what could we possibly afford?

    thanks for reading and hopefully someone can help answer some questions :)

    Assuming your CRAA is totally clear and you can come up with circa 10% deposit (You will probably need all of that) as depending on your ages your Credit score will not read well with Assets / age.

    May get 95% lvr so on a $300K property would need 15K plus acqusition costs minimum.

    If any credit impairement still showing  then unlikely to get much at all.

    Cheers

    "Veda" but close enough.

    P/L would have to have gone as that will really drag the credit score down.
