A few years ago, many of us would have had a light chuckle to
ourselves if someone mentioned that you could borrow money to buy a
house with only the promise of solid future earnings. But today this
is a regular occurrence. Many of the industry’s non-conforming
lenders are selling these financial products to many happy
consumers, with most of the major banks avoiding this riskier route.
Ideally, the individuals set to gain from this product have high
incomes in industries with high job security.
With this loan you are presuming that the benefits of immediate
ownership and debt outweigh the costs of renting. This may not
always be the case however. The risk to the lender is greater and so
you will pay a premium interest rate for the privilege, usually
about 2% higher than the current market rate.
With this is mind, it may be time to clean the dust of the old
mortgage calculator and assess the long term financial gain or speak
to a financial consultant to establish whether this is a sound
option for you, and for many people it can be.
Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch and strictly
speaking, no deposit means “with enough money to cover initial

exit fees, running into thousands of dollars so read carefully
before you sign on the dotted line.
Many lenders also will only lend for specific types of property,
leaving well alone riskier properties in regional areas and places
with no established resale value.
Here are a few tips to help you manage your financial position.
- Allow for higher interest rates when budgeting for repayments over
the next 2-3 years,
- Ensure personal debts like credit cards and car loans are under
control before committing to a property loan, and
- Make extra repayments where possible to reduce your exposure to
higher rates and falling prices.
