what is a low doc loan?

Low documentation (Low Doc) loans and alternative documentation (Alt Doc) loans cater to who may struggle to meet the stringent documentation standards of conventional loans. These loans are particularly suitable for self-employed individuals, freelancers, or those with fluctuating income who find it difficult to provide typical income verification. A common myth about Low Doc Loans is that they require less income documentation than traditional loans. In reality, they allow for different forms of income verification. These loans are for individuals who have been in business for under two years, experience seasonal or inconsistent income, receive income from multiple sources, such as part-time jobs, investments, rental, or business ventures, have recently changed industries or transitioned between full-time employment and self-employment. To be eligible for a Low Doc Loan, self-employed borrowers may need to supply - Proof of ABN and/or GST registration - Business Activity Statements (BAS) - Business account transaction statements - A letter from their accountant - Personal tax returns.

why choose low doc?

Low Doc home loans are often seen as risky by lenders due to the inability to verify the borrower’s income through traditional methods. Consequently, they typically come with higher interest rates and more restrictions, but they can provide a temporary solution to your financial needs.

 

Pros:

 - Alternatives to tax return income verification

 - Options for fully serviceable loans, including redraws, lines of credit, and both variable or fixed rates

 - Available as Principal & Interest or Interest-only loans

 

Cons:

 - Generally higher interest rates

 - Fewer features and more restrictions on the maximum to Valuation Ratio (LVR)

 - Not all lenders provide Low Doc Loans
