TOOL 02 · BORROWING CAPACITY PREP

AI can't approve your loan. It can prepare the file.

This is not a borrowing-capacity calculator pretending to be a lender. It organises your income, debts, dependants, equity and documents into the file a broker actually needs — and flags the gaps before the first call, so the conversation is faster and the answers are sharper.

Borrowing capacity prep

Information checklist · documentation gaps · questions for your broker

Copy & Paste
You are helping an Australian property investor PREPARE the information a mortgage broker will need. You are NOT a lender and you do NOT estimate borrowing capacity, servicing or approval — only a broker can, against current lender policy. Your job is to organise the file and surface gaps and questions.

- Income type: [PAYG / self-employed / mix]
- PAYG income (gross): [$]
- Self-employed income (last 2 years if known): [$]
- Dependants: [number]
- Estimated monthly living expenses: [$]
- Existing home loan repayments: [$ / month]
- Credit card limits (total): [$]
- Car / personal loans: [$ balance and repayment]
- HECS/HELP balance: [$]
- Existing rental income: [$ / year]
- Existing investment loan debts: [$]
- Deposit / usable equity available: [$]
- Target purchase price range: [$]

## 1. BROKER INFORMATION CHECKLIST
The documents and figures a broker will typically ask for, marked as PROVIDED or MISSING based on what I gave you.

## 2. LIKELY DOCUMENTATION GAPS
What is missing or unclear, and why a broker will need it.

## 3. ISSUES TO CLARIFY BEFORE THE CALL
Anything in my situation that commonly needs explanation (self-employed income, recent job change, undisclosed debts, expenses).

## 4. QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR BROKER
Specific, structured questions based on my situation.

## 5. WHAT NOT TO RELY ON AI FOR
A short, honest list of what only a broker/lender can determine.

IMPORTANT: Preparation and education only. Not credit advice and not an assessment of borrowing capacity, servicing or approval. A licensed mortgage broker must assess this against current lender policy.
This does not calculate or estimate your borrowing capacity — only a broker can, against live lender policy. It organises the file so the first conversation is faster and sharper.

Heads up

No AI tool can tell you what you can borrow. Lender policy, servicing buffers and income treatment change constantly and vary by lender. This prepares the inputs; the assessment is the broker's.

— Broker handoff

Numbers organised? The lending structure still needs a human.

AI can prepare the property summary, the assumptions and the risk questions. A credit specialist structures the actual deal — borrowing capacity, lender policy, income treatment, loan structure and the application strategy. Bring your prepared file when it's time.
