What Lending Facilities Can I Use With 95% LVR Without LMI?

Once approved for a 95% LVR home loan with no LMI, you can still refinance, purchase another residential property, or access your equity and other facilities and services.

However, remember that you first have to demonstrate your capacity to service the loan as long as you work as a legal professional, engineer, accountant, dentist, or registered medical practitioner.

What to watch out for LMI waiver loan?

We have a Panel of lenders that offer to waive your LMI based on your occupation, however, on some occasions we need to watch out for other restrictions for the type of property that you purchase, hence we always do check if there’s further restrictions in the postcode area that you could be purchasing, and if you are buying in high density locations. Some lenders may require Debt-to-Income ratio of 6 or below. 

What other ways of avoiding paying LMI?

Guarantor Loan option

A guarantor loan allows a close family member, often a parent, to use the equity in their property as security for part of your home loan. This reduces the lender's risk and allows you to borrow up to 100% of the property value without paying LMI. The guarantor’s property acts as additional security, which means LMI can be avoided entirely, even with a small or no deposit.

Key points:

  • The guarantor is liable for the portion of the loan they secure if the borrower defaults.

  • Some lenders allow the guarantor to be released from the loan once the borrower has paid down the loan to an 80% LVR or less.

First Home Buyer / Home buyer Guarantee Scheme in each state

The Australian government offers the First Home Guarantee (formerly known as the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme), which allows eligible first-home buyers to purchase a home with a deposit as low as 5%, without the need for LMI. The government acts as a guarantor for up to 15% of the property’s value.

Key points:

  • Available to first-home buyers purchasing their first property for owner-occupation.

  • There are price caps based on location, so eligibility varies depending on the state or territory.

  • Borrowers must meet income thresholds (for individuals and couples).

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Deposit Should I Have?

Most lenders will require a 20% deposit for home loans and processing fees. That’s why we suggest having at least a 20% deposit so we can better negotiate the rates for your loan.

Otherwise, we can look for other solutions such as a Family Guarantee or government grants such as the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme (FHLDS).

How Much Will Getting a Home Cost?

Here is the breakdown of costs in processing or buying a new home. Note that your real estate broker may have more or fewer requirements and fees depending on several factors.

- Home loan deposit (we recommend a 20% deposit if you don’t have government schemes in place)
- Legal fees
- Lenders’ Mortgage Insurance (LMI), although we can help you negotiate for an 80% LVR with no LMI for home loans depending on your financial position.
- Lender’s Establishment Fees for Specialist Loans

Furthermore, your local council may require you to pay the following fees:

- Government Registration & Transfer Fees
- Due Diligence Fees (pest inspection, strata report, etc.)

Aside from legal and lending fees, you should also note labour costs, moving, and furnishing your new home. Don’t forget about living expenses and your monthly mortgage repayments.

What if I Can’t Make the 20% Loan Deposit?

Usually, you only need to have a minimum deposit of about 5-10% of the property value to purchase it.

But if you still don’t have that amount, we recommend opting for a family guarantee, especially if your parents have considerable equity in their property. Otherwise, paying for LMI should help you get finance as long as you and the house you want to purchase are eligible.

Why Do I Need a Mortgage Broker for Property Investing?

Having a time-tested and proven mortgage broker can help you:

- Thoroughly assess and determine your borrowing capacity.
- Understanding what documents you need to prepare when buying a property
- Make sure you have enough equity and set an appropriate property budget.
- Develop a long-term and sustainable financing strategy
- Establish a sustainable and reliable financing strategy
- Take you through different partner specialists (solicitors, tax and depreciation experts, mortgage brokers, and buyer agents)

Property investors should also walk away with an improved loan portfolio with our help at JFS Financial Strategists.

How Can I Tell if Property Investing Works for Me?

Before venturing into property investing, make sure you have:

- Extra cash flow after deducting living expenses and outstanding debts
- Saved enough equity or deposit in a property.

Besides, remember that investing incurs varying risks. So we recommend having an investor’s mindset and trying to mitigate the risks of investing by looking into what you will earn in an investment property.

That means going out of your way to make several enquiries just to ensure what you’re venturing into is right for you.

What is LMI or Lenders’ Mortgage Insurance?

When applying for a home loan, you should hear the term LMI or Lenders’ Mortgage Insurance from your bank or broker.

You pay your insurance provider a one-time fee when applying for loans above a specified Loan to Value Ratio (LVR).

LMI is required when the bank or lender is exposed to higher risk on your loan. What happens when you’re borrowing more for less deposit.

If you default on the loan and the bank sells the property at a loss, the LMI insurer will reimburse your lender for the loss. On your end, that means you can borrow more and purchase higher-valued properties. The only con is that you need to pay an LMI fee which increases along with LVR and loan amount.

Who Are We?

We take over the project from start to finish, through research, reviewing the fine prints, negotiations with lenders and their credit managers, comparing rates and fees to achieve your goals.

How Much Amount Can I Borrow?

The amount and Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) you can borrow will depend on your capacity to repay the loan. In other words, your net income is gross income minus tax and other expenses you need to make.
