Whether you are buying a home, investing or refinancing, we help compare options that align with your goals and cash flow across a range of home loans Victoria borrowers can consider.

What lenders often look for

Requirements can vary by lender, but many self employed home loan applications are assessed around business stability, income consistency, deposit position and overall serviceability.

Common documents may include recent tax returns, notices of assessment, business financials, BAS statements, bank statements and identification. DK Loans helps you understand what is relevant before you apply, so the process feels more organised and less stressful.
