Medico Home Loans are for Low Risk Medical Professionals.

There are certain professions within the medical industry who qualify for a doctor or medico home loan package. These special home loan products offer lower rates, can be taken out with a lower deposit and without having to pay LMI.

There are many benefits to working in the medical profession, and one is that you are a preferred and valuable client for lenders and banks in Australia. With a great income, less chance of default and a great network of other medical professionals you are a desirable client to have

Lenders consider medical professionals to be a low risk with above average income, which isn’t only stable but increases over the time. Lending institutions prefer medical professionals as clients because they often require other products such as Car Leases or Business Loans.

These Professionals as they are a lower risk can apply for Medico Home Loans which have higher loan amounts at higher LVR’s with out paying LMI. Generally up to $2,000,000 to 90% LVR where other applicants would only be able to borrow to 80% LVR.

Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI)

Lenders typically require LMI when you borrow more than 80 per cent of a property’s value, as protection against loss due to calling in the home loan. Lenders pass the cost of LMI on to the borrower which can be expensive.
