Re: Using personal loan as a house deposit. A bad idea?

A guarantor loan sounds like a viable option right now. But my mom has a lot of questions regarding this. Are there any protections in place for the guarantor?

Using personal loan as a house deposit. A bad idea?

Hi there, I am hoping to buy a property in Tasmania worth $475,000, but do not have enough deposit saved up. For now, I have only saved $5,000 & I am living rent-free at my mom's house. I have been working for 4 years and earn around $70k annually.

My question is this: is using a personal loan as a house deposit a bad idea?
