Self Employed

 

Being self employed can provide some challenges when seeking a loan to purchase a home, investment property or to refinance.

Self employed people generally don’t have the same income pattern or financial structure as PAYG employees.

In these situations a lo doc loan may be worth considering.  These loans enable you to self certify your income without the need to provide the lender with your full financial details.

The downside to this flexibility is that lo doc loans may attract higher interest rates and additional fees and charges.

If you are self employed contact your local broker to discuss what loan options are best suited to your circumstances.

 


TOP TIP!

Know the payout penalties attached to your loan and how long they apply. This is important should a better loan option become available in the market or if your planning for the growth of your family or changes to the house. You don't want to suffer a large transfer cost or exit penalties.  This is especially the case with fixed rates
