Being a single parent is no walk in the park โ€“ juggling work, school runs, meals, and everything in between can feel like a marathon.
So, if youโ€™re thinking about buying a home, the thought of coming up with a massive deposit might seem impossible.
But guess what? The Family Home Guarantee is here to help, and you only need a deposit as low as 2%. Yep, you heard that right โ€“ 2%!
๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—™๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—น๐˜† ๐—›๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—š๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฒ is an Australian Government scheme designed specifically for single parents and legal guardians.
Whether youโ€™re buying your first home or youโ€™ve owned one before, this scheme makes it easier to secure a place to call your own, without needing to pull together a 20% deposit or pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance.
Instead, you can put down as little as 2% and still be eligible for a home loan โ€“ just imagine the savings on rent!

The Family Home Guarantee can be used to buy an existing home or even build a new one โ€“ so you can live in a space that suits your familyโ€™s needs. But keep in mind, this isnโ€™t for buying investment properties; the scheme is all about helping you and your kids settle into a home, not building an empire!
To be eligible, itโ€™s fairly straightforward. You need to:
โ€ข Be an Australian citizen or Permanent Resident, aged 18 or over.
โ€ข Be a single parent or legal guardian with at least one dependent child living with you.
โ€ข Have earned less than $125,000 in the last financial year.
Oh, and hereโ€™s a bonus: remember – itโ€™s not just for first home buyers! Even if youโ€™ve owned a home in the past, you can still apply for the Family Home Guarantee, which is great news if life threw you a curve-ball and youโ€™re starting over.
