    Is this scenario possible:

    The kid earns approximately 50000/year.
    Live at home, no expense, no relationship yet.
    Has saved small amount of saving for stamp duty etc.
    Expect to earn rental income gross approximately 20000/year.
    Purchase price approximately 500000.00
    Avoid LMI, Maximum borrowing approximately 400000.00
    Borrowing capacity IO approximately 400000.00
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    To assist the kid, would it be best to gift 100000.00, in this scenario?
    Or is there a better option?
    As a parent, assisting with shortfall regularly/monthly can be considered.

    If they can only service $400k it will have to be a gift. If you loan it, it will have to be included as a liability which will further reduce their borrowing capacity.

    Normally, just a letter stating the gift isn't repayable is fine.

    Best way to help us to teach mindset. Failing that, $100k.

    Even where the child is purchasing a main residence the loan is generally the way to go - can be interest free.
