Becoming a homeowner has been the dream of most Australians for generations.
Today’s first homebuyers not only have access to more information and expertise but also to a variety of different loan products to help them achieve that dream.
Plus, more and more first-time buyers are becoming investors before they own a home.
First homebuyers are a vital cog in the real estate wheel and they can become property owners with the right advice and expert assistance.
A new first-time buyer investment strategy is the concept of rentvesting.
Rentvesting involves buying an investment property but continuing to rent in the location of your choice.
This strategy has a number of positives, including investing sooner rather than later; renting in locations that first-time buyers probably can’t afford to buy; and growing equity in income-producing assets which can be used to invest again or to buy a home down the line.
By adopting a rentvesting strategy, first-time buyers can start their property investment journey sooner, which will have long-term financial benefits for them.
One of the most popular first-time buyer home loan products is a guarantor loan.
The reason for their popularity is simple – saving a deposit for your first property has always been difficult.
However, as the name suggests, this type of loan uses a guarantee from another party – usually mum and dad – that acts as the deposit.
Parents often use equity from their own homes or portfolios to guarantee the entire, or a percentage, of the deposit for their children.
That way, first-time buyers can not only purchase a property more quickly, they may also avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance, too.
Whilst there are a myriad of loans available for consideration, here are some that are of the most relevance to a First Home Buyer:
