LMI Waiver for Medical Professionals — Buy Sooner, Save Thousands

As a medical professional, you may qualify to borrow up to 90–95% of a property’s value without paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance — saving you up to $40,000 and letting you buy years sooner.

What Is an LMI Waiver — and Why Does It Matter?

Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is a cost charged by lenders when you borrow more than 80% of a property’s value. It’s designed to protect the lender — not you — and can add $15,000 to $40,000 or more to the cost of buying a home, depending on your loan size and LVR.
For most buyers, avoiding LMI means saving a 20% deposit — which in Sydney’s property market can take years. But if you’re a medical professional, you may be able to borrow up to 90–95% of the property value without paying LMI at all. This is one of the most valuable financial benefits available to doctors, dentists, nurses and other healthcare workers — and many are unaware it exists.
At Bang On Investments, we have specialist knowledge in both medicine and finance. We know which lenders offer the best LMI waiver products for each profession, and we’ll match you to the right one for your situation.

How an LMI Waiver Works in Practice

A Real-World Example

A doctor buying a $1.2M property in Sydney with a 10% deposit ($120,000) would typically face an LMI cost of approximately $25,000–$35,000 on a standard loan. With a Medico LMI waiver, that cost is eliminated entirely — meaning the same $120,000 deposit buys the same property with no additional insurance premium.

LMI Waiver FAQs

It depends on your loan size and LVR, but LMI costs typically range from $8,000 to $40,000+ for loans between $500,000 and $1.5M. An LMI waiver eliminates this cost entirely — meaning that money stays in your pocket or can go towards your deposit.

Some lenders extend LMI waivers to interns and residents, subject to criteria such as a signed employment contract and minimum income level. We know which lenders are most flexible for doctors in training — call us to check your eligibility.
Some lenders extend LMI waivers to investment purchases as well as owner-occupied homes, though conditions differ. We’ll confirm what’s available for investment purposes based on your profession and lender options.
Some lenders do extend concessions to nurses and allied health professionals, though the waiver limit may be lower than for doctors. We’ll check your eligibility across our full lender panel and tell you exactly what’s available.
It’s not automatic — you need to apply through a lender who offers it, and your broker needs to know to request it. This is one of the most common things overlooked when medical professionals go directly to a bank. We ensure every eligible client gets the benefit they’re entitled to.
