Generally, yes. You can add the stamp duty expense on to the principal amount of your loan. The stamp duty will be paid out of the cash you use as a down-payment on your loan. The amount of stamp duty you owe varies by state and by the value of your home.

Generally speaking, a deposit of 20% of the value of the property will save you from incurring additional fees such as Lenders Mortgage Insurance. Some lenders will let you borrow up to 95% of the purchase price and then let you borrow the cost of the Lenders Mortgage Insurance on top of that. Alternatively, if you don't have a deposit, you can borrow up to 100% of the property's purchase price, in two ways:
• Family Pledge: which means that a family member offers their property as security for you to purchase your property.
• 100% House and Land packages: allow you to borrow up to 100% of the price of the brand new home and land.

The mortgage registration fee varies from state to state. Generally, mortgage registration fees can be found on each state's or territory's website. If I am unemployed but have rental income is there any way to get a home loan? If rental income is your only source of income, it is likely that a lender will require an additional source of income. Simply being unemployed does not disqualify you from obtaining a mortgage. Having income from rental property will help make qualifying for a mortgage a bit easier.

This means that a quick check on your serviceability of a loan has been done and it is calculated that you should be able to make mortgage repayments on the amount you have been pre approved for. However, it is not binding and cannot be used to make an offer on a property. It is important to get a full or unconditional approval before proceeding with any property purchase.

Lender's Mortgage Insurance, as the name states, protects the Lender not you as the borrower. Lender's Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is a once off fee that normally applies to loans where the customer is borrowing more than 80% of the purchase price. LMI is scaled depending on the percentage you need to borrow (between 80 - 100%) and the amount of the loan (ie, $650,000). LMI can start from $800 and range up to nearly 4% of the loan amount. You have two options to pay this fee.

1. You can pay it upfront on settlement of the loan.

2. Some lenders allow you to capitalise the cost of your LMI, meaning that they will add this figure to your loan amount. For example, if you are borrowing $650,000, your LMI may work out to be $7000. You would actually increase your loan amount to now borrow $657,000 ($650,000 + $7,000). 

A mortgage offset account can reduce interest on your loan. Your mortgage is linked to an account into which your salary and other cash can be deposited. You can then withdraw the funds to pay your bills. For example, if you have a loan of $300,000 and have $10,000 in your offset account, the amount of interest you pay will be calculated on only $290,000 ($300,000 - $10,000). Use these savings for another deposit instead of paying off your current mortgage. Extra Repayments/Redraw Facility You can make extra repayments and create a 'kitty' for times when you have unexpected expenses such as plumbing or electrical repairs or for when you're not receiving a rental income. Some loans with this feature allow you to skip a mortgage repayment as long as you have enough funds in credit to cover that mortgage repayment.
