Discover how medical professionals are skipping the LMI and saving thousands on their home loans! Here’s how an LMI waiver can put money back in your pocket.
Health and Medical Practitioners on the lookout for a home loan might be eligible for some perks, like discounted rates not available with standard home loans. This includes medical professionals, who have access to a range of beneficial concessions.
Given their typically high salaries, lenders see those in the medical field as having no trouble with their mortgage repayments. This financial stability positions medical professionals as particularly appealing clients for lenders, seen as low-risk borrowers. To attract these individuals, lenders offer advantages such as the waiver of Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI), which can lead to significant savings.
What You Need to Know About LMI
Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is a protection measure for lenders against the risk of a borrower failing to keep up with their mortgage repayments. Should a borrower default, and the property’s sale doesn’t cover the owed amount due to depreciation, LMI covers the difference. It’s typically required for borrowers with less than a 20% deposit or a loan-to-value ratio above 80%, as a smaller deposit increases the lender’s risk. However, medical professionals might have the perk of an LMI waiver, saving them a significant amount over time. This waiver is a special benefit acknowledging the financial stability and lower risk profile of health and medical professionals.
Home Loans for Medical Professionals
As a medical professional, you’re uniquely positioned to enjoy certain advantages when securing a home loan due to your stable and high income, low risk of a career change, and the constant demand for medical expertise in Australia. These factors make you a low-risk borrower in the eyes of lenders. Key benefits include potential waivers for Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI), allowing for significant savings, and the possibility of smaller initial deposits, enabling earlier property investments.
Lenders might also offer more flexibility around the standard proof of income requirements, recognising the unique employment structures within the medical profession. These special considerations highlight the value placed on medical professionals and their contributions to the community.
A wide range of medical professionals, spanning over 50 specialties, are eligible for home loans with potential LMI waivers, provided they are recognised by the Australian Medical Council or a similar authoritative body. This includes a variety of specialists from anaesthetists to veterinarians and Allied Health professionals like physiotherapists and podiatrists. If you’re in the healthcare sector and are unsure of your perks, it’s still worth consulting with mortgage brokers who can guide you on available incentives.
