    Does every lender ask that a person applying for a loan be in their current job for 3 months or more?

    Cheers

    Off the top of my head, probably the main ones would. Some may even require 6 months if your previous job was in a different industry. Some low doc/no doc loans do not have these requirements though.

    From my experience a letter from the employer stating that they are NOT on a probationary period is normally sufficient. But this will not be the case with all lenders.

    Less than 3 months is sometimes acceptable particularly when you have started a new job in similar industry (ie a career move). A letter from the employer would be required stating that there is no probation period. Could also depend on the strength of the deal (how strong the servicability is etc)

    Find a good broker who can put your deal up with the best chance of being approved.

    Not necessarily – as long as you’ve got some equity in your current property, they may not ask for your job criteria.

    I was casual in my job when I got my first loan and all I did was obtain a letter from my employer stating I was working x amount of hrs per week.

    Kind Regards,
    Geo.

    Not all lenders are the same.

    Some are very flexible – esp if LMI isn’t required.

    Low doc loans….

    For most employment doesn’t matter – just your avowed income level (sometimes testified to by your accountant).

    Particularly useful for contractors & those people who have recently changed jobs.

    Acey

    Unfortunately most good low doc loans require that the applicant be self employed for more than 2 years. Mot want an ABN or company registered longer than 2 years as proof.
