Overview
Are you a doctor, dentist, lawyer, accountant, or essential worker? Your profession could save you on your mortgage.
Many lenders on our panel have specialised loan packages for specific professions, which may include:
- Lower interest rates
- LMI waivers, if you don't have a full 20% deposit
- Higher borrowing capacity
- Reduced fees
The most common form of professional-specific loan is an LMI waiver, up until 90% LVR. This means that you can purchase with just a 10% deposit, and won't need to pay LMI. Some specific professions, such as healthcare, may be able to take advantage of higher LVR waivers.
Take advantage of these special consideration loans designed specifically for high-income earners in established professions.
