SELF EMPLOYED MUM AND DAD
Although there is no such thing as self-employed home loan,there are a variety of home loan options that are better suited to the self-employed. Self-employed people may enjoy the great flexibility of being their own boss, but they may have a harder time qualifying for a home loan. There are implications when it comes to borrowing money. When you apply for a mortgage, the bank performs due diligence to ensure that you will be able to repay the obligation. If you are self-employed, a contractor, a freelancer, or a small business owner, a traditional bank will typically want one to two years of financial statements.

LENDERS VIEW SELF-EMPLOYED PEOPLE DIFFERENTLY
There’s no getting around the fact that banks and other lenders will view your application differently if you’re a business owner or self-employed.If you have a job with an employer, a lender will only require your personal financial position to make a lending decision. When you work for yourself,your lender will also consider your business’ financial position.
If you are self-employed, banks and lenders may consider your income as unpredictable’ and therefore consider you at much higher risk of missing repayments.If you can show your lender that you’re a safe investment for them, you’ve got a better chance of your home loan being approved — there are just a few extra steps during your application when you’re self-employed.
