Believe me, I get it. I&#8217;m 25, and I&#8217;ve recently been through it myself. But I made it through\u2014and now I want to help you do the same.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a young, aspiring first-home buyer, here&#8217;s what you need to know:<\/p>\n<p><strong>LVR (loan-to-value ratio)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>LVR is a fancy way of saying how big your loan is compared to the price of the property. It&#8217;s expressed as a percentage, and the higher it is, the more risk the bank takes on. So, if you&#8217;re borrowing 90 per cent of the purchase price, your LVR is 90 per cent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LMI (Lenders Mortgage Insurance)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your LVR is over 80 per cent, your bank will ask you to pay LMI, which covers them if you can&#8217;t repay your loan. While it&#8217;s an extra cost you&#8217;d probably rather avoid, LMI can also be your ticket into the market sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>First home buyer guarantee<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the perks of being a first-home buyer is the government might cover your LMI, saving you thousands in upfront costs. It&#8217;s a game-changer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stamp duty concession<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Stamp duty is a tax you pay on top of the purchase price of your property. It can be around 5 pet cent of the property price\u2014a hefty chunk of change. But, first-home buyers can often get a concession or even avoid paying it entirely, depending on where you live and how much your home costs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FOMO (fear of missing out)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We all know what FOMO is, especially when it comes to real estate. The fear of missing out can make you feel like you need to jump in before you&#8217;re ready. But remember, buying a home is a big deal, so take your time and make sure you&#8217;re prepared.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Building your A-team<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re ready to start thinking seriously about buying your first home, there are three key people you need to chat with:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coffee one: the mortgage broker<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Start by finding a mortgage broker &#8211; ask friends or family for recommendations. A 30-minute coffee with a broker will give you more practical financial knowledge than you ever got in school. They&#8217;ll walk you through the steps and help you understand what buying your first home might look like.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coffee two: the conveyancer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your conveyancer is the one who makes sure the property you&#8217;re eyeing is legit. They&#8217;ll review the contract before you sign and ensure there aren&#8217;t any hidden surprises that could cause trouble down the road.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coffee three: your mentor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Finally, have a coffee with someone who&#8217;s been there and done that. Whether it&#8217;s your parents, a trusted relative, or a friend who&#8217;s already taken the plunge, find someone who can offer guidance and keep you motivated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let&#8217;s chat<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re keen to learn more, Tribe Financial are hosting a First Home Buyer night on October 17 in Torquay. We&#8217;ll dive into these topics and more, helping you feel confident about taking the next steps.<\/p>\n<p>Shoot us an email at <a href=\"mailto:askus@tribefinancial.com.au\">askus@tribefinancial.com.au<\/a> to get on the list.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>\/\/ Sponsored Content<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entering the property market as a first-time buyer feels like stepping into a maze.
