    i just quit my full-timeday  job to start my own business…am i still able to borrow $$ to purchase a property? my business is not making a huge profit at this stage, but i suppose it's making enough $$$ to pay my own salary, and i don't have any assets really….?!?! do you think the bank would still lend me $$?

    Hi richie

    Regretfully without a decent asset backing of around 20% of the purchase price i think you have very little chance at this stage.

    No Doc loans are generally hard to find and have high rates – you will need decent deposits too.

    Low Doc loans generally require 2 years ABN these days as well as 1 to 2 years GST registration if your earn more, or declare more than $75,000 pa. ( you would be required to be registered for GST if your turnover is more than this – not profit).

    Paying yourself a wage or your 'business' paying you a wage doesn't really help either as you are self employed. They will want 2 years tax returns for both business and personal if you are director of the company. If someone else was director and you received a wage, then you may be ok.
