Expert review

This home loan has competitive rates, relatively low fees and you can get it with a low deposit. It has rates for construction and purchase too. The big catch, obviously, is that your property needs to satisfy the energy efficiency rating. If it does, then this could be a suitable loan to consider.

    Would you loan on a house and land package for an investment property in regional QLD with a 10% deposit and LMI?

      Hi Jason,

      As long as you meet the other eligibility requirements you may be able to get a loan through Loans.com.au. It is best to speak to the lender directly so they can take into account your full circumstances. You could also consider talking to a mortgage broker who could go through all of your options.

      Kind regards,
      Rebecca

      Hi Dave,

      For a first home buyer, loans.com.au requires a minimum deposit of 10% of the purchase price of the property as long as you are taking out Lenders Mortgage Insurance.

      Without LMI, borrowers would need at least a 20% deposit.

      Thanks,
      Richard
