A family guarantee can fast track a parent's child into the property market by using the equity in the parent's home (or making an equivalent cash deposit with the Lender as security) to lower the LVR - Loan to value ratio.
This means you can get started with a much smaller deposit and still avoid expensive LMI fees, and potentially access lower interest rates.
Why do people ask Mum & Dad for this type of help? What are the key benefits compared to going it alone?
It's not all one-way traffic. A Family Loan can offer real benefits to the parents.
The guarantor uses equity from their home (or even savings) to guarantee part of their child’s loan. The key benefits for the borrower, are that it can help them enter the property market earlier and with less fees.

Rick's parents wanted to help him get into the property market as prices seemed to be going up faster than his deposit. Only problem was, they refused to put their home up as security.
Rick's parents had $80,000 in savings that they did not require access to, so they deposited it as a term deposit (earning a competitive interest rate) with the Lender providing the loan to their son. This cash deposit was not used as a part of the loan - it was merely acting as the security.
If things somehow went "pear shaped" the only liability the parents had, was the the cash deposit - not their house.
