(Some even offer 10% deposit home loans)
AI summary
If a bank declines your loan, non-bank lenders offer an alternative with more flexible criteria. They are ideal for borrowers with bad credit, irregular income, or a small deposit.
While they often charge higher interest rates and fees, their risk-based approach can help where banks won't. Key lenders include Avanti Finance for residential borrowers, Squirrel Money for unique projects like tiny homes, and First Mortgage Trust for property developers, each catering to specific needs.
