    90% no LMI and if you own practice then you will are able to borrow against your book.

    Interesting. I never knew that there is actually a benefit for being a Chartered Engineer ..... I always thought it was pretty useless.

    My wife is a full Member of CPA, would we get 90% no LMI even though the loan are joint names with me?

    As long as a CPA is on the loan you should be right - and income is $150k pa or more. Includes rents too.

    The $150Kpa qualification is combined income? Or just the CPA member?

    @kamchatsky - the qualification is required at my work for some roles. Primarily Engineering Managers and those with Authorisation / Technical Approval responsibilities.

    Have worked on navigation-related systems for 20 years.

    That is the approximate location of where I live with an error tolerance of a km or two.

    90% no LMI - Westpac and St George are the only guys that will touch do it. St George are much better though.
