FAQs
How much do I need for a home loan deposit?
Generally, 20% of the property value is required by the banks. But that doesn’t mean you won’t be considered if you have less. Some lenders accept as little as 5%, and there may be options to reduce or avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI)
See what we offer Professionals and Medical Professionals.
What is Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) and can I avoid it?
LMI protects the lender (not you) when you borrow more than 80% of a property’s value. The LMI premiums can range between 1% and 5% of your loan amount. However, certain professions and income types can qualify for waivers—even with small deposits. Ask us if you’re eligible.
Is it easier to get approved through a broker?
In short: yes. A good broker knows how each lender assesses applications. We match your finances with the right bank (or non-bank lender) from the start—so there are fewer delays and no time wasted applying with the wrong lender. We only ever submit a loan application when we are confident of approval.
Can I buy a property in a different state?
Absolutely. Location doesn’t limit lending. We regularly help clients purchase interstate investment properties or even relocate altogether.
How often should I refinance?
We recommend reviewing your loan every 2 to 3 years—or whenever your circumstances change. Even a 0.5% rate drop could save you thousands. But remember, refinancing isn’t just about rates—it’s about structuring the loan around your goals and your financial future.
What should I consider before refinancing?
Think beyond the headline rate. We look at offset accounts, loan features, exit fees, fixed versus variable options and how your loan fits your long-term goals.
I have multiple income streams—can that affect my borrowing power?
Definitely. If your income comes from ABNs, trusts, contract work or a mix of sources, we’ll present it properly to the lender. It’s all about getting the structure right, and that’s our speciality.
Can I borrow through a trust?
Yes—but not all lenders allow it, and the application process is more complex. We specialise in structuring loans for trusts, SMSFs and company entities. If you think your borrowing structure is complicated, get in touch. We’ll be happy to straighten it out for you.
Do mortgage brokers charge fees?
Tiger usually charges no brokerage fee—we’re paid by the lender after your loan settles, and it doesn’t affect your interest rate. In rare cases, where a fee applies, we’ll flag it clearly before you proceed.
How do I know if a broker is any good?
A good broker should be transparent, proactive and ask the right questions—not just your income and expenses, but your goals, timeline and structure. They should also be accredited with a wide panel of lenders—not just tied to one or two.
Is it faster to go through a broker?
From our experience, it’s definitely faster going through a broker. We assess your application early in the process, so there are no surprises after we submit it to the bank. Because we know what banks want, we’re able to avoid back-and-forth delays and common errors from other brokers that slow down approvals.
Why choose a broker over going straight to a bank?
A bank will only offer you their own products. We compare dozens of lenders and can tailor the structure to your needs—not theirs. Think of us as your lending advocate. Plus, if you have multiple banking requirements, you’ll deal with multiple bankers. Not with Tiger—you’ll only ever deal with one person. Get to know our founder, Raymond Liao.
