A first home buyer is someone purchasing a property to live in for the first time, meaning they have not previously owned property in Australia.
Typically, a 20% deposit of the property’s value is ideal. However, deposit requirements can vary depending on your profession and the lender. For example, doctors may be eligible for 100% home loans without LMI through specific lenders. Some lenders also accept deposits as low as 2% under certain conditions or schemes. This is where Triple O Finance’s expertise is invaluable—we help identify the right loan options based on your profession and financial situation.
Yes, you can. While a 20% deposit is the standard to avoid LMI, certain government schemes, like the First Home Guarantee, allow eligible buyers to purchase with as little as 5% without paying LMI. Moreover, some professions, like medical professionals, can access loans with reduced deposit requirements or LMI waivers. Our expertise ensures we match you with the best lender and options available for your unique circumstances.
LMI protects the lender if you default on your loan. It’s usually required when your deposit is less than 20% of the property’s value. However, some professions, including doctors and certain emergency professionals, may qualify for an LMI waiver. At Triple O Finance, we assess your eligibility and help you minimize additional costs wherever possible.
Eligible first home buyers can access grants such as the First Home Owner Grant (FHOG), First Home Guarantee, and stamp duty concessions.
You can apply through your mortgage broker or directly with your lender. Triple O Finance guides you through the process to ensure you maximize available benefits.
The FHOG is a government initiative offering financial assistance to eligible first home buyers purchasing or building a new home. For more information, please read the following article: Government Grants and Schemes for First Home Buyers.
Some states offer concessions or exemptions for first home buyers. Triple O Finance helps you determine your eligibility and manage the paperwork.

Due to the dangerous and risky nature of the policing role, most Police Officers perform numerous hours of overtime per rostered shift. While most lenders generally accept 80% of the overtime income, we have lenders on our panel who will accept 100% of the police overtime income which provides a well deserved and much needed boost to their application. We have experience and knowledge in identifying what documents are required for lenders to be able to use Police overtime income.
Fringe benefits for Police Officers can include novated leasing to purchase a vehicle, clothing allowances for specialist police and even voluntary super contributions.
While most lenders only accept gross income without taking salary sacrifice tax benefits into consideration, we have lenders on our panel who can consider salary packaging benefits as “tax-free part” meaning they will consider salary packaging as part of your assessable income which again greatly increases your borrowing capacity.

We can not thank the Triple 0 finance team enough for their help in securing our dream home. Special shout out to Nish and Ash for their dedication, open communication and support throughout the loan application process. From day one, we knew we were in safe hands. Every time we raised a concern, they had a solution. Nish and Ash made the whole process run smoothly and secured us a fantastic rate considering the current climate. Thanks guys!
We found Ash and Triple O Finance Team through an online platform.
Ash set up an interview with me and obtained all our financial requirements and objectives.
The Initial application was for refinance of our family home for a better interest rate and some debt consolidation. Ash and his Team reviewed our application and provided us with a very competitive interest rate along with the cash back offer.
We recently worked with Triple O Finance for our mortgage needs and what a pleasure it was. Nishant is highly knowledgeable and guided us flawlessly throughout the process. During our initial call he was meticulously prepared and clearly understood our requirements. He walked us through all the options with a clear thought process and helped us choose the best option for our needs.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Nishant and Jill from Triple O Finance to purchase my house, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Nishant went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and successful transaction.
By our personal experience, we highly recommend Triple 0 Finance for all your loan and financial needs. Nishant and their team are exceptionally knowledgeable and adept in their fields, offering a wide range of the latest financial products. From the moment we reached out to Nishant Ramavat at Triple O Finance, his proactive and genuine guidance has continuously impressed me. Without Nishant’s assistance, obtaining a home loan and taking a step closer to realizing our dreams would have been much more challenging. Thank you so much Nishant – Manoj & Tejaswini from N.T
I have had the pleasure of working with Triple O finance since a few years. Ash and Jill have always provided a top-notch service. I have recommended them to a few of my family and friends, and they have been very happy with the service as well.
Happy with the service although settlement short falls need to be better anticipated/managed and better awareness of Bank Holidays when requesting attendance to bank branches to make payments. This unplanned activity was quite disruptive to my day as I was with clients, fortunately my manager was able to cover for me to some extent.
