AI summary
While challenging, buying a home in NZ with little to no deposit is possible. Options include applying for a low deposit loan through a lender or a Kāinga Ora backed First Home Loan, which may only require 5% down.
You can also withdraw from your Kiwisaver or ask parents to act as a guarantor. A mortgage broker is an expert in finding funding for non-standard situations and can provide tailored advice for your specific financial circumstances.
