    We have $20,000 deposit on a block of land we want to purchase which is $245,000. Is this enough deposit? I realize the LMI and costs have to come out of this also

      Hi Vicki,

      Thanks for your question.

      Generally, the bank will require 20% deposit hence, the amount you mentioned won’t suffice for the loan amount you intend to take. In case you won’t be able to come up with the required deposit, the lender might ask for an LMI. Please read more about how LMI works and learn how you can save on your home loan.

      Cheers,
      Liezl
