Exclusive data given to ABC News shows there has been a rise in lenders mortgage insurance LMI policies being taken out as the housing market booms. LMI is a lump sum payment of insurance that lenders often expect borrowers without a 20 per cent deposit to pay on top of their loan.

It can cost borrowers tens of thousands of dollars, which is often added to their mortgage, meaning the overall cost blows out even further with interest. Some people avoid paying for LMI by getting their parents or close relatives to go guarantor on their loan. I didn't have a partner to rely on. It was just me doing this," Ms Lehmann said. Then Ms Lehmann heard about a scheme through the federal body Indigenous Business Australia that offers a home loan product for First Nations people.

That saw Ms Lehmann buy a unit in Melbourne's outer suburbs with just 5 per cent deposit and no LMI — however being on the scheme has some catches. I can't redraw. I can't consolidate any loans or anything like that," she said. It's my own place. I can paint a wall purple if I feel like it or, you know, break something and it's mine.

The federal government has been running several other similar schemes for first home buyers seeking to crack into the property market without LMI. Its two first home loan deposit schemes FHLDS , for people building new homes and for those buying existing ones, are getting people into the market with deposits as low as 5 per cent.

There are only 10, spots in each of those two schemes released each year, meaning securing a place is competitive, especially during a pandemic property boom. There is also a newer scheme with 10, places for single parents with as little as a 2 per cent deposit. Mansour Soltani is a mortgage broker who specialises in loans for first home buyers.

He said the two schemes for people with 5 per cent deposit have been very useful — but that he has been struggling to get single mothers into the newest scheme. Mr Mansour said this is because single parents typically have lower incomes, plus higher overheads and debt levels from looking after children. Mr Soltani is passionate about helping first home buyers avoid LMI as he sees it as "dead money".

He said there are some loans being offered by specialist lenders in the market where LMI is waived for people with less then 20 per cent deposit. Although, like some of the schemes, many of these products attract higher interest rates. ABC News has also confirmed that some banks waive LMI on a case-by-case basis for people deemed as having stable professions, such as accountants or doctors.

The ABC can also reveal that the Victorian Government is set to launch a shared equity scheme for thousands of first home buyers struggling to get together a deposit.

The scheme will contribute money towards a person's mortgage in exchange for a proportionate equity interest in the property. The scheme was already piloted among first home buyers. Mortgage broker Mansour Soltani warned "the devil's in the detail" when it comes to shared equity schemes. So essentially, they just help you out with your deposit, but you still owe it to them and have to pay it back.

University of Sydney urban planner and policy analyst Nicole Gurran is also passionate about removing the LMI burden on new borrowers.
