Who this guide is for

Two Australian families combining resources to buy a property together — for affordability, family proximity, or investment.

The local picture

Two-family co-purchases are unusual for major banks but common in South Asian communities. Lender approach varies. Joint and several liability, ownership splits, what happens if one family wants to sell — all need careful structure.

How Mortgagefy helps locally

Mortgagefy works with two-family purchases regularly. We help structure the co-ownership arrangement, identify lenders comfortable with multi-family applications, and coordinate with family lawyers for the co-ownership deed.

Frequently asked questions

We use offer letters and vesting schedules to value RSUs conservatively. We present current vesting value + projected future vesting as a 3-5 year income average. This gives lenders confidence in your income stability while accounting for market volatility.
Both. We work with W2 employees, 1099 contractors, and consultants. For contractors, we use 2 years of tax returns plus business financials. We have lenders who specialise in contractor income—they understand the variability.
Unvested options have zero value for refinancing. We count only vested equity. If you have a 4-year vest, we use 25% of the grant value (what's vested) plus a conservative projection of future vesting.
If you've been in your new role 6+ months, most lenders will refinance. We'll use your offer letter plus 6 months of pay stubs. If less than 6 months, it's harder but possible with specialist lenders.
Yes, if you have 2+ years of bonus history. We average the past 2 years and present it conservatively. Some bonuses get counted at 50% to be conservative with variable compensation.
ESPP is counted as deferred compensation. If your company matches or you have a discount, we value it as part of total compensation package.
