As someone self employeed, you'd need 2-3 years of consistent increasing income reported (I'm just assuming you live/want a mortgage in the US). So even if you got your extra couple sales a day or whatever, you'd need to sustain this for a couple years to qualify. You'd need a rather large credit score to qualify for a jumbo mortgage and 20%+ for a downpayment (so $200k+).
So maybe you should lower your goals some

There's no credit scoring system in Australia, but the bank would still need proof of sufficient income over the medium term (eg two years worth of tax returns). Interest rates are around 7.5% (roughly) which means he'd be paying $1500+ a week just to cover interest, even more if it's a P+I loan. The bank isn't going to give him a loan where roughly 80-90% of his gross income goes towards paying the mortgage.
Hey Graham with all this fast cash you're making are you remembering to pay tax?
