    Hi CCK

    Best bet is to have a chat with a good broker- most of them are familiar with self employed persons and their lending criteria. Try ASAP Financial Services - Mortgage Brokers Australia and ask for Rolf Latham. He's been around the blocks, knows his stuff and I can tell you, from personal experience, is very good with finding loans for the self-employed.

    Alternatively, if your friend prefers to try a bank or other lender, go prepared with paperwork and I'm sure they'll come up with the answers for him.
