Alternative Financing Options
Exploring non-traditional funding sources, such as leveraging a self-managed super fund (SMSF) for property investment, can open new avenues for investment.
Hawkins outlines how individuals can use their superannuation funds to secure property, offering a strategic method to expand one’s investment portfolio without the typical constraints of standard home loans.
Support for First-Time Homebuyers
For those new to the market, Hawkins suggests considering parental guarantee options, which can significantly reduce the required upfront capital and potentially eliminate the need for lenders’ mortgage insurance.
This approach not only facilitates easier entry into the property market but also enhances the purchasing power of first-time buyers.
