Mortgage insurance is generally charged by lenders if your deposit is less than 20% of the home’s purchase price. Many buyers choose to pay this insurance instead of saving for a few more years.

Property investor FAQs
Buying an investment property is relatively straightforward, however working out which investment property is right for you can be more complex. Things to consider include your financial situation as well as your short, medium and long term investment goals.
Communities with amenities like schools, shops and public transport generally provide the best opportunity for better financial returns.
Negative gearing is when the rental income earned from your property investment is less than your interest repayments and other costs associated with owning that property. It lets you offset the costs of owning a property against your annual income, potentially lowering your taxable income meaning you could pay less tax.
Rules vary from state to state, however you generally need to reside in the property you’re buying to qualify for the government’s First Home Buyers Grant.
