Understanding Self-Employed Home Loans

Self-employed individuals often face unique challenges when applying for a mortgage. Lenders may require additional documentation such as BAS statements, business activity statements, and detailed profit and loss statements. However, with the right approach, obtaining a mortgage with rates starting from 5.99% p.a. is achievable.

Key Factors in Securing a Mortgage

• Stable income proof and consistent business operations
• Good credit history
• Debt-to-income ratio considerations
• Deposit size, typically at least 5-10%
