Would like to discuss with someone about the Family Home Guarantee as I have a son under 21 yo, Uni student who earns less than $6403. I believe I am eligible, please contact . email is preferred or can be contacted 12:30 pm WST
PS Made some contact with a lady called Justine last week but lost her details.
Hi Paula,
It sounds like you might eligible, although it depends on whether your son is classed as a dependent or not. Generally, the criteria to be eligible for Family Home Guarantee are:
• You must be an Australian citizen at least 18 years of age, and a single parent with at least one dependant. Permanent residents are not eligible.
• You must meet the income eligibility requirements – your taxable income cannot exceed $125,000 for the previous financial year (child support payments are not included as income for the purposes of the income cap).
• As the single parent, your name must be the only name listed on the loan and the title.
• You must be able to provide a deposit of at least 2% of the value of the property.
• You must intend to be the owner-occupier of the purchased property.
• You can either be a first home buyer or have owned a home in the past. You can not currently be living in a home you own.
• There are property price thresholds that will apply in capital cities, large regional centres and regional areas. Use NHFIC’s property price threshold tool to work out the maximum property purchase price in the area you’re interested in under the Scheme.
• The property you wish to purchase must meet the property eligibility requirements under the Scheme.

How do you use the website to compare 4 banks. It doesn’t seems to be working. I want to compare 4 different banks’ investor loans but when I click on ‘Compare’ the bank I am looking at on the screen comes up but there is no mechanism for me to add another 3 banks to compare to – just blank boxes and an orange ‘Compare’ button.
Hi Mark,
Thanks for getting in touch.
There are investment home loans from different banks you can compare. On the page is a comparison table you can use to see which lender suits you. You can click the name of the lender or the “More info” link to be redirected to our review page and learn more about the lender’s loan offer, rates, and requirements as well as the pros and cons of using their loan service. When you are ready, you may then click on the “Go to site” button and you will be redirected to the lender’s website where you can proceed with the application or get in touch with their representatives for further inquiries you may have.
If in case you’d need help with your lending options, you can also speak to a mortgage broker who can consider your circumstance.
Before applying, please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you. You can also contact the provider if you have specific questions.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
May
