Australian Finance Podcast · First home buyer incentives in 2022 · 18 Apr 2022 podcast

She'd got gifts from a parent.

She'd got gift from a brother.

Like there was just money all over the place and there weren't big gifts.

So a couple of thousand dollars here and there, but we had to prove her genuine savings.

She wasn't renting through an agent so we couldn't use rent as genuine savings and she didn't have a tax return that was 5%.

So they're the things that we're looking for when we're looking for eligibility for the scheme that you have to be an Australian citizen, you have to be earning under $125,000 or $240,000 I think if you're a couple and that's available to only Australian citizens as well.

So we've knocked out a few people when we're going through this because maybe the partner's not an Australian citizen and stuff like that.

But this scheme is my very favourite and it's available for new homes and it's available for existing homes.

And there's fewer places for existing homes.

So it's quite hard to get on that waiting list.

But when you're on a waiting list with a bank, we tend to turn them over quite quickly and make sure that people are getting into their homes.

I had one person that sat on the waiting list for about 18 months.

Oh, wow.

And you're taking a place away from someone else.

So we were getting a bit kind of buy a home or get off the waiting list, like one or the other.

10,000 spots every six months it's been.

And because the take-up was so slow for the first one, there were a few extra places for a while.

But now it seems that people have actually got to know how to use it and which banks have it.

So it's Commonwealth National and it's all the credit unions do it.

And again, better to go through a broker so that you can get all that.
