Common scenarios

How clients like you use this

Real situations we structure every week — each with its own lender shortlist.

5% deposit with no LMI

Home Guarantee Scheme places let eligible buyers purchase with 5% and skip LMI — we check eligibility and price caps for your state.

Guarantor purchase

A family member's equity can eliminate LMI and boost your budget. We structure it so the guarantee is limited and released as early as possible.

Buy now vs keep saving

We model both paths with real numbers — price growth, rent paid, LMI, scheme access — so the decision is maths, not vibes.

Frequently asked

How much do I need for a $650k home?+

As little as ~$40–50k with a scheme place (5% + costs), or ~$160k for a 20% deposit plus costs. We'll map your exact number.
