Home Loans for the Self-Employed

There’s been a drastic change in the way people work and earn money over the last few years – particularly in Australia. With a rising number of Australians choosing to work as contractors, the nationwide percentage of self-employed professionals now sits at just under 20%. What’s more, about 30% of Australians are only working part-time.

As the dynamic of “working life” in Australia continues to evolve, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for some people to provide proof of standard income when applying for a mortgage. So much so, in fact, that in recent years it’s become normal for 1 in every 4 Australians who are denied a loan to have their employment status be the reason for denial.

However, if you are self-employed, don’t panic just yet – there are alternatives that can ensure you still get the keys to your first home without needing a regular 9 to 5.

We are so happy to have been able to work with Sam at Benevolence Financial Group on bringing our home ownership dreams to life. As first home buyers we had no idea what we were doing and whether we were even in any kind of position to purchase. Sam explained everything and patiently answered our many questions, talking us through every step of the process.

Highly recommended. Sam and his team are a highly professional group who helped us with a refinance. They were attentive, proactive, and knowledgeable in their service as they guided us through the transition.

Patrick

We met with Samuel and right from the start he listened to our goals and got us meeting with the relevant people. He was extremely proactive and found lenders to say yes when our current said no. Have used him many times and would recommend him to any small business owner who is trying to get ahead and set up an income for their future and future family. Look forward to continue to working with him and his team

Andrea

Samuel has been incredibly helpful guiding us through our first home purchase. He’s been incredibly patient, very responsive, and got us a great deal on our mortgage. On top of all that, his business model is geared toward socially responsible and ethically minded businesses/banks – something we really valued. It’s great to know our investment is doing something great for us, but also for others and the world. We would highly recommend this business and specifically Samuel, he’s just an absolute legend!
