Who this guide is for

Lakemba-area buyers with credit issues — defaults, judgments, late payments, past bankruptcy — wanting to know what's actually possible.

The local picture

Credit issues mean major banks decline outright. But specialist (sometimes called "non-conforming" or "second-chance") lenders look at the full picture and lend at higher LVRs than most people realise — even with defaults or past bankruptcy.

For Bangladeshi families in Lakemba, language barriers add to the difficulty of finding the right lender.

Frequently asked questions

Both. We work with W2 employees, 1099 contractors, and consultants. For contractors, we use 2 years of tax returns plus business financials. We have lenders who specialise in contractor income—they understand the variability.
Unvested options have zero value for refinancing. We count only vested equity. If you have a 4-year vest, we use 25% of the grant value (what's vested) plus a conservative projection of future vesting.
If you've been in your new role 6+ months, most lenders will refinance. We'll use your offer letter plus 6 months of pay stubs. If less than 6 months, it's harder but possible with specialist lenders.
Yes, if you have 2+ years of bonus history. We average the past 2 years and present it conservatively. Some bonuses get counted at 50% to be conservative with variable compensation.
ESPP is counted as deferred compensation. If your company matches or you have a discount, we value it as part of total compensation package.
