Listen

Description

So you've decided that now is the right time to look at buying a house....yay, go you!

 

But if you're like me, you have so many questions (so many) and a military member who isn't really down for providing ALL of the answers!

 

Sometime's you just need it explained in plain old non-military speak which is why Defence Bank's Kym Bowles and I talk you through all of the potential grants and ADF schemes you (aka your military member) may be able to apply for when it comes to buying a house.

 
In this episode Kym and I talk about;
  • First steps once you decide to save for a house
  • Which Grants and ADF schemes you may be able to apply for
  • The First Home Loan Deposit Scheme (aka FHLDS) explained
  • Who can apply for the FHLDS and are there exemptions for ADF members
  • The Defence Home Ownership Assistance Scheme (aka DHOAS) explained
  • When to apply and how the DHOAS payments actually work
  • The Home Purchase Assistance Scheme (aka HPAS) explained
  • When an ADF member can apply for HPAS and some things to be aware of
  • Home Purchase or Sale Expenses Allowance (aka HPSEA) explained
