Hello Aditya. Welcome to the forums.

There are different minimum income requirements in different states for waived Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) home loans for accountants.
You must be earning a minimum of $120,000 in WA, SA, NT and TAS and a minimum of $150,000 in NSW, ACT, VIC and QLD to be eligible for waived LMI. This can include your rental income but cannot include the income of your spouse unless they are also an eligible accounting professional.

As such, you do not meet the minimum income requirement, however, your combined income of $175,000 classifies you as a high-income earner (any amount more than $150,000). Thus, allowing you to borrow up to four times of your annual total income ($175,000 x 4 = $700,000) and still be eligible for waived LMI provided you meet all other standard lending criteria.

We specialise in home loans for accountants.

Hi Aditya,

LMI premiums vary between different lenders. Our LMI calculator compares premiums from six major lenders including CAB, NAB and ANZ.

Inputting the property value of $1.1 million with a $100,000 deposit at 90% LVR (90.91%) on our LMI calculator, your premiums may vary between $34,000 to $38,800 with different lenders.
Can you reduce your loan to $990,000? If so we can save you up to $15,337.

Cheers,
