Kiss the Landlord Goodbye.
A guide for renters ready to explore home ownership — without being held back by a traditional cash deposit. Powered by AffordAssist Interest-Free Deferred Deposit Solution.
You may be closer to home ownership than you think.
For many renters, the biggest obstacle is not making regular repayments — it is finding a large cash deposit while paying rent and living life. You can work hard, pay rent on time and have reliable income, yet still feel stuck.
Traditional advice says to save 10% or 20% of a purchase price. That target can be difficult when rent, bills, transport, food, children and unexpected costs compete with every pay cycle.
This book asks: "If I can responsibly afford to own, is a conventional cash deposit my only possible structure?"
"The question is not simply 'How long will it take me to save?' It is also 'What happens to my goal while I wait?'"
Buy Sooner. Borrow Less.
The AffordAssist Interest-Free Deferred Deposit Solution changes how part of the purchase price may be structured. It does not remove the need for affordability — it creates a different, responsible path.
Buy Sooner
Eligible buyers may explore home ownership without waiting to save an entire traditional cash deposit. With deposits from just $1,000, your dream of owning a home could be closer than you think.
Borrow Less
An agreed Deferred Amount can reduce the amount required from an interest-charging bank Home Loan or mortgage. The arrangement is separate from your bank loan and is interest-free.
One Home. A Clear Funding Structure.
- Your available cash — starting from $1,000 upfront
- Bank Home Loan assessed separately by the lender
- $20,000 FHOG for eligible first-home buyers (new homes)

The Cost of Waiting
When you are renting, you are meeting your present housing costs while saving for a future home. Property values can rise, fall or remain unchanged. If they rise, the dollar amount represented by a percentage deposit can also rise.
No one can predict a market. The decision to wait is also a financial decision — and an opportunity to find out whether another responsible route may be available now.
