Ankita was great at guiding me through the loan providers; explaining the differences of various features, and PROs and CONs of each option. Buying a property is one of the biggest decisions in anyone's life and thanks to Ankita and Real Mortgage I got my pre-approval in no time and had the chance to focus on my property search rather than the nitty gritty details of mortgages and differences between lenders. Feeling the peace of mind that I have the best possible rates tailored to my needs is priceless.

We have dealt with multiple mortgage brokers in the past but never experienced such an amazing service and offerings which we got from Real Mortgage. Ankita is a phenomenal person and achieves the best outcome every-time. She is very versatile in her approach and always have something in her mind for any situation.

Ankita has been great in securing a pre-approval for myself considering the complexity of the file. She worked through all the steps I had to take and worked tirelessly to get my pre approval through the door so that I could purchase my first place. Would recommend her and her team to any looking for a mortgage broker, especially if you have a complex case.

I had the pleasure of working with Ankita as my mortgage agent, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Last year, She helped me secure a loan for my investment property with the best product available in the market. This year, she helped us secure a home loan for my forever home, which was a huge relief. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the mortgage process and works closely with you to achieve your financial goals.

FAQs

The Self-Employed Borrower's Blueprint: Your Complete Guide to Home Loan Success.

Can I get a home loan if my tax returns show low income?

Yes, you can.
Many self-employed borrowers have tax-effective structures that reduce taxable income. We help present your
true serviceability using lender-friendly strategies and documentation — even with low-doc or non-traditional income.

What documents do I need as a self-employed applicant?

We provide a checklist tailored to your situation.

✅ Last 2 years of tax returns (if available)

✅ BAS statements

✅ Business bank statements

✅ ABN/GST registration

✅ Accountant’s letter

Will I need a big deposit?

Not necessarily. Some lenders accept as little as 10% deposit — and in certain cases, we may help you qualify with less, especially if you have strong business cash flow or existing equity.

Can I refinance my existing home loan if I’m now self-employed?

Absolutely. Refinancing as a self-employed borrower is possible — whether you're looking to lower your rate, access equity, or consolidate debt. We specialise in self-employed refinancing strategies that banks often overlook.

How is your service different from a bank or traditional broker?

We understand self-employed clients deeply. Unlike banks that follow rigid rules, we customise your application to highlight your strengths. We're experts in low-doc, alt-doc, and non-conforming loans — and we speak your language.

Is your checklist really free?

Yes — 100% free. No strings attached. It’s a practical guide designed to save you time, reduce stress, and help you get loan-ready faster.
