Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is a type of insurance that protects the lender in case a borrower defaults on their home loan and the sale of the property doesn`t cover the outstanding loan balance.

Key things to know about LMI:

👉 LMI is typically required if your deposit is less than 20% (or 10% for certain professionals) of the property’s purchase price.
👉 The cost of LMI varies based on factors like the loan amount, deposit size and lender
👉 LMI is a one time premium paid upfront by the borrower or added to the loan amount, depending on the lenders policy

While LMI offers the advantage of securing a home with a lower deposit and entering the property market sooner, every situation is unique. Some may opt to wait until a larger deposit is saved, while others may choose to pay LMI to capitalise on a rising housing market.

No matter your situation, our mortgage brokers will present all the options

Curious about how LMI could impact your home buying journey?

Myth: Fixed rate loans are preferable to variable rate loans 🚫

Many believe that fixed rates are always the safer option when it comes to loans. The truth is, it depends on your unique financial situation and goals.

The benefit of fixed rate loans is that they offer stability with consistent monthly payments, protection from rate increases and is ideal for long-term planning, However, something to consider when locking in a fixed rate is that you could start with a higher initial rate compared to variable rate loans and miss out on potential savings if interest rates begin to drop.

On the other hand, variable rate loans are a good choice if you wish to start with a lower interest rate, potentially saving you more over the life of the loan if rates decrease. The downside of a variable rate is the uncertainty of rate changes and the possibility of your monthly payments changing, potentially causing financial strain.

The right loan type depends on your financial goals, risk tolerance, and how long you plan to stay in your home. Consult with one of our mortgage experts to evaluate your options and choose the loan that aligns best with your situation.

We know that the market can seem very overwhelming, so we are here to do the research for you.

Are you looking to expand or build your property portfolio but unsure how to make it happen? Home equity might be the answer you`re looking for. 🏠

Home equity refers to the difference between the current market value of your home and the outstanding balance of any loans secured against it. In simpler terms, it`s the portion of your property that you truly own outright.

The benefit of already having a home means that you`ve already built some equity which you can use to buy an investment property, renovate, consolidate debt or achieve other financial goals.

Understanding how to unlock the potential of your home`s equity can be a game-changer on your financial journey.

Our team can help you navigate the complexities of home equity and determine how much equity you have available to achieve your objectives.

Curious about using home equity to fund your next investment?

Rentvesting is an increasingly popular choice for people who choose to rent a property in an area they`d like to live in and buy an investment property in an area they can afford.

This unique approach allows individuals to essentially have their cake and eat it too – to enjoy the lifestyle of their choice while strategically investing in property.

🔍 Benefits of rentvesting
- Flexibility in choosing your location
- Investment opportunities
- Potential tax benefits
- Rental income

💡Factors to consider about rentvesting
- No access to the First Home Owners Grant
- Lack of control over the rental property
- Capital gains tax liability
- Ongoing costs

Before getting into rentvesting, you need to ensure you are financially prepared. Having a comprehensive game plan that accounts for short and long term goals and ensuring effective budgeting to manage rental and investment expenses is crucial.

Myth: Mortgage brokers only use their favourite lender 🚫

As a potential borrower entering the market, you may have this misconception that mortgage brokers will only choose products from their favourite lenders, potentially benefiting them more than you.

At Lending Association we are obliged under best interests duty legislation to always act in the best interests of our clients and prioritise their objectives when making recommendations.

Our goal as mortgage brokers is to potentially save you money, time and effort in the loan process. With access to over 60 banks and lenders and a diverse range of products, we provide you with more choice and can ensure we find the right loan for your needs. Unlike when dealing directly with a lender who are limited by their own suite of products.

We consider every option in the market, ensuring the solutions we present align closely with your goals and unique situation.

Your financial journey matters to us, and we`re here to guide you through it with transparency and expertise.

The Australian market is constantly changing, presenting new challenges and opportunities each month.

We sat down with our Queensland Regional Manager, Steve Bourne and @danny_chiha Senior Partner at @kellypartnersnorthernbeaches to discuss the latest from the RBA cash rate meeting.

Despite the RBA holding the cash rate at 4.35%, we`re already thinking ahead to what might happen next. The cash rate hold indicates that we could be at the top of the rate hike cycle. With this in mind, it`s crucial to sit with all your key stakeholders - be it your mortgage broker, accountant, lawyer etc. - to ensure your strategy is aligned with your goals.

For those without a strategy, it`s never too late. Our mortgage brokers are actively working with thousands of clients helping them get on the right track with their finances.

Watch this space as we break down the next RBA meeting. 💬

Planning to make your dream home a reality in 2024? Here are some mortgage tips to guide you through the journey:

1️⃣ Start with a clear budget: Understand your financial capacity. Evaluate your monthly income, expenses, and potential mortgage payments.

2️⃣ Save for a deposit: Aim for a substantial deposit. It not only lowers your loan amount but also signals financial stability to lenders.

3️⃣ Explore your options: There`s no one-size-fits-all approach. Explore fixed-rate and variable-rate options. Consider what aligns best with your financial goals.

4️⃣ Get pre-approved: This gives you an indicative idea of your budget and shows agents and sellers you`re a serious buyer. It can also speed up the final loan approval process.

5️⃣ Stay informed on market trends: Keep an eye on the property market and the blog section on our website. Understanding trends can help you make informed decisions on timing your purchase.

Remember, the journey to homeownership is unique for everyone. If you have any questions, our team is here to help turn your homeownership dreams into reality in 2024! 🏠
