Accountant Loan Case Studies
Michelle’s Investment Home Loan Case Study: 90%LVR waived LMI for accountants
Profile: Michelle is a management accountant who works for KMPG. She recently passed her last CA exam and is expected to become a fully qualified Chartered Accountant later in the week.
Objective: She is seeking to start an investment property portfolio. She aims to achieve FIRE “financial independence retire early” through property. For her first purchase, she targets a house in Frenchville QLD for $500,000. Her anticipated rental return will be $575 per week.
Problem: Michelle has $200,000 in savings. She does not want to dole out money on LMI and her parents aren’t in a position to be a guarantor for her home loan. However, if she does pay a 20% deposit plus stamp duty to avoid LMI she will need to contribute about $120,000, leaving her only $80,000 in savings & hence not enough to purchase another property without paying LMI to grow her portfolio.
Solution: After researching online, Michelle stumbles upon the Lend City Pros website and discovers that a few lenders offer home loans for accountants. She calls through & finds out that with some lenders she can borrow 90 per cent of the property value without paying any LMI and may even be eligible for special interest rate discount.
After crunching the numbers, Michelle is told if she borrows $450,000, 90 per cent of the purchase price, she will only need to contribute about $70,000 and will save approximately $9,000 in LMI costs. This will leave her with roughly $130,000 allowing her enough deposit to expand her total property portfolio without LMI to three properties all close to $500,000 in value and generate her $1,725 per week in rent.
Like Michelle, you can save thousands on your home loan with an LMI waiver. You can always contact one of our mortgage brokers that specialise in home loans for accountants by calling us on 1300 030 388 or enquiring online.
Luke’s Property Portfolio Case Study: Savings thousands by refinancing
Profile: Luke is the CFO of a travel company and earns $350,000 per year including bonuses. He has been very successful with property and amassed a portfolio of 7 properties across Australia, roughly half paid off.
Objective: With interest rates raising Luke has seen his rates go from 2.24% to 5.57% in about a year. He is looking to ensure he is on the lowest rate possible and not be paying more than he needs to.
Problem: Luke calls his relationship manager at his existing bank and requests them to give him a better interest rate. He wants the rates which are advertised on their website. They regret to inform him that they cannot assist as the rates on their website are limited to new to bank customers & he is already on the best they can offer.
Solution: After discussing his situation with a work colleague, Luke is referred to her colleague’s mortgage broker, Lend City Pros, who specialise in home loans for accountants. They thoroughly analyse his situation & the market to find him the best deal. Luke refinances all his loans and was able to achieve the following:
- Lower the interest rates on her loans by 0.50%. Saving her approx. $21,000 per year in interest.
- Take advantage of cash back the bank was offering. He was able to obtain a $4,000 cash back per property. Hence as he had 7 properties the bank paid him $28,000 to move his business over.
- Re extend his interest only periods back to 5 years on his investment loans
Oliver’s Home Loan Case Study: How to increase your borrowing capacity
Profile: Oliver is a senior financial accountant based in North West Sydney and earns $150,000 per annum. He is married and has two children. His wife works in HR & earns $120,000 per annum. They own a two-bedroom apartment which they live in that is about half paid off.
Objective: Oliver & his wife need more space for the kids. They are looking to move into a house with a backyard and are seeking to spend 1.2 mil.
Problem: Oliver speaks to his existing bank about getting preapproval and they tell him to his shock their maximum borrowing capacity for new lending is $800,000. Oliver & his wife are not in a position to save or ask the family for $400,000. In addition, with a budget of $800,000 they are limited to just buying another apartment.
Solution: After discussing his situation with the family, Oliver is referred to his brother’s mortgage broker, Lend City Pros, who specialise in home loans for accountants. There they thoroughly analyse his situation and successfully assist him with securing a preapproval for 1.2 mil by making a few simple changes.
- Cancelling all credit cards. Combined, David & his wife had three credit cards with a total limit of $20,000. Even though the credit cards were seldomly used, due to regulations, banks are required to factor the credit cards in as if they were at their limits. This reduced their total borrowing power by approx. $140,000.
- Selecting the right bank that will maximise his borrowing capacity. By reverse engineering the methods each of the banks work out their borrowing capacity, we can identify crucial differences in their methods of calculation. By evaluating these differences, we determine which ones may apply to David’s situation and then simulate the impact. For his case, we identified the following had the biggest impact to his borrowing capacity:
- Using the smallest assessment rate buffer on David’s existing home loan fixed at 2.19%.
- Minimising household expenditure measurement. David & his wife are extremely careful with their spending & follow a strict budget. As a result, relatively speaking considering their household, location & income their spending is quite low for their cohort.
- Using the most recent year’s bonus for David instead of averaging it over both years.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our mortgage brokers work around the clock to ensure you receive the highest customer service possible while providing maximum value to help you get the best possible deal on the market.
Here are just some of the benefits of choosing to work with us:
Waived lenders mortgage insurance
Lenders mortgage insurance (LMI) applies to all home loans when the home buyer or property investor takes out a loan 80% or more of the property value.
For example, a home buyer seeking to purchase a property valued at $2,000,000 with a $200,000 deposit would be required to pay LMI. In this instance, they would only have 10% as a deposit and would be required to borrow 90% of the remaining loan from the lender. The lender will then apply LMI to cover the risk.
Lenders perceive doctors as ‘low-risk’ occupations compared to many other borrowers. As a result, doctors are granted special deals that potentially include a full LMI waiver that enables them to borrow up to 95% of the property value.
However, some conditions apply. To be eligible for an LMI waiver for doctors, you need to be AHPRA registered and working as a certified doctor. Your AHPRA registration must be general or specialist as a ‘Registration Type’. If your registration type is limited or provisional, you can still be eligible.
We encourage all Australian doctors to contact us and speak with one of our senior mortgage brokers. Our brokers will be able to accurately provide you with detailed insights into how you can save on lenders’ mortgage insurance as an eligible medical professional.

Doctors often have unusual income structures that all banks do not accept. You don’t want to be caught out by approaching a bank that won’t accept your income.
Here is a breakdown of various income structures (applicable to doctors and other medical professionals) that lenders will accept:
- Base PAYG salary for permanent part/full time: 100% is accepted
- Casual Income: 100% is acceptable. Most banks require 12 months with your current employer. However, a few banks can consider casual income with as little as 3 months or less with your employer.
- Overtime: A few banks will consider 100%; however, most banks generally only accept 80%. You will need to be with your employer for at least 3 months.
- Allowances: Depending on the allowance, 100% can be considered; otherwise, only 80% is generally acceptable.
- Invoices paid to your ABN: 2 year tax returns are generally required. However, depending on how long you’ve been getting paid through invoices, a combination of invoices, BAS, interim tax returns & evidence of your previous income can be accepted. Some lenders accept an ABN as little as 6 months old.
- Business income from running your practice: 2 year tax returns are generally required. However, depending on how long you’ve been self-employed, a combination of business activity statements & interim tax returns can be accepted.
Depending on the value of your home loan, we can save you within the tens of thousands of dollars on your doctor home loan.
We pay doctors, on average, $11,850 to cover their annual loan fees, saving them thousands of dollars through the lifetime of their loan.
Don’t risk it! Our specialist mortgage brokers have assessed thousands of credit checks for medical professionals and can easily pinpoint where we can help you save. Whether you’re a medical professional looking to purchase your first home or investment property or refinance your home loan, we can help.
Of course! We negotiate with CommBank, NAB, ANZ or Westpac to approve your home loan.
Unsurprisingly, most doctors and medical professionals prefer to bank with either of the big four banks; we get it! Given their reputation and size, most feel secure knowing sufficient resources are available. They also offer a wide range of financial products, enabling great convenience for busy professionals.
If you meet the criteria set by the big four banks, you should be eligible for an exclusive doctor home loan.
If you’re in a tough financial position, such as issues related to previous loan defaults or poor credit history, don’t worry. We may still get you a competitive interest rate with one of the big four banks. All home loans are different, and we encourage you to first speak with our senior mortgage broker before deciding.
Our mortgage professionals make applying for home loans for doctors as simple as getting any regular mortgage. Instead of the constant back and forth, your senior broker will guide you through the entire pre-approval process to collect any required documents in one go.
We have helped hundreds of medical professionals get tough home loans approved quickly, and we’re confident we can do the same for you.

Personal identification documents
This includes your primary identification documents, such as your Australian passport or driver’s license, which clearly show your full name, photo identification, date of birth, and current residence.

In cases where you’re unable to access your primary identification documents, most lenders will typically require you to submit two secondary documents.
Proof of income
This includes two of your most recent payslips from your current employer.
You must provide two ATO tax returns from the last financial year for self-employed medical professionals.
Additional documentation
Bank statements and internet transaction history show your current level of savings.
Any other home loan statements.
Depending on your financial situation and history, we negotiate on your behalf for the lowest home loan interest rates available to doctors. These rates can apply whether buying an investment property or being owner-occupied.
