Should you purchase a property even if it means adding LMI (Lenders Mortgage Insurance)?
When housing values are appreciating faster than the cost of LMI, it can make financial sense to buy today and pay LMI rather than holding out to save a bigger deposit only to end up paying more for a first home further down the track.
LMI is a type of insurance that applies if you have less than a 20% deposit. As a first home buyer, you don’t have to shop around for LMI, your lender will arrange it for you.
The catch is that LMI protects the lender, not you, if you can’t keep up the home loan repayments. So it’s often seen as a cost to avoid, especially as the one-off premium can be a major upfront expense.
