How Can Low Doc Loans Help You?
What Are Low Doc Loans?
If you’re applying to borrow money, lenders want to know that you can repay that loan.
They do this by assessing your proof of income.
Self-Employed
But if you’re self-employed or running your own business, it’s difficult to provide these traditional documents to prove your income.
This doesn’t mean you don’t qualify to apply for a home loan. You just won’t be able to apply in the traditional sense. Instead, you can apply for a low doc loan.
You still have to provide proof of income, but you can do so through other means.
What Proof of Income Documents Will You Have to Submit?
Generally, lenders will assess your personal and business tax returns or income tax assessments. This will give them an idea of how stable your income is likely to be going forward.
Here’s more about what you need for the low doc loans process:
Other paperwork you may be asked to provide include:
- ABN
your Australian Business Number (ABN)
- Income Declaration
- BAS
- Bank Statements
several months worth of bank account statements
