Self-Employed and Unsure Where to Start With a Home Loan?
Clear guidance for self-employed Australians — understand what lenders look for, prepare properly, and get introduced to a trusted, accredited mortgage broker when you’re ready.
Getting a home loan when you’re self-employed is different
And most people find that out the hard way.
If you run your own business, you’ve probably experienced:
Conflicting information about what income counts
Different rules at different lenders
Requests for endless documents
Uncertainty about whether you’re “ready” to apply
Fear of getting knocked back and hurting your chances
The problem isn’t you — it’s that self-employed lending works differently.
