How Much Can You Save?

Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is a one-time fee for loans over 80% LVR, protecting the lender if you default. For a $500,000 home, LMI can cost $8,600. Our LMI waiver for nurses eliminates this up to 90% LVR, saving you thousands—equivalent to years of mortgage payments. Combine this with our low rates, and you could own your home sooner.

FAQs - The Best Home Loans for Nurses

Yes, if you’ve worked 1 year at your current job or 2 years total in nursing.

We partner with 30+ lenders (e.g., NAB, Westpac) offering waivers—conditions vary, so we’ll find the best fit.
10% + costs (e.g., stamp duty). Less than 15%? Ask about guarantor options.

LMI protects the bank in case the borrower defaults on the loan. It is paid by the borrower but benefits the lender. It does not protect the borrower; instead, borrowers should take personal life and income protection insurance.

You can still apply, though lenders may cap you at 85% LVR. Post-probation boosts approval odds.

Tom has provided us with a very professional service, communicating all the available options to us and in the process he has literally saved us $75k that we would have otherwise paid. Being new the Australian property market it was imperative we found a broker that had the patience to answer the numerous questions we had be it by phone or email and sometimes outside normal working hours and that is exactly what we got from Tom. He certainly goes beyond the call of duty. Keep up the good work, Tom and we will no doubt be back in touch with you in the not too distant future.

Finally, we were able to buy our own place in Sydney. THANKS to Michael. We were given the run around by various banks (we had a unique situation and despite good income and stable one, loan wasn't coming easy). When we almost finally gave up, we had nothing to lose and made one last call and it was to Michael. Our hopes were back in two days from there, and had our loan approved with in next few days. We appreciated all the prompt and helpful responses to all of our queries in relation to purchasing with a Temporary Visa. He even made a bank valuation possible in 24 hours or so. If we ever need help again with our finance, Michael will be the first person we would call. Kindest Regards, Anjuli & Kris
