Self Employed Borrower Options

Qualifying for a mortgage

Self Employed borrowers qualify for conventional, FHA, VA and USDA financing as long as the income on their taxes supports the loan. Sometimes SE borrowers have aggressive deductions or income that is hard to prove. When that happens, we have several alternatives to help you finance your home.

Conventional/ FHA / VA / RD / Jumbo

we will always ask to review your income taxes first.  There are several items that can be added back in to give us a higher qualifying income. Some of the items we can use are:

  • Depreciation or depletion
  • Business use of your home
  • Notes due in less than one year
  • Carryover losses from previous years 

Once we are able to analyze your returns, we can recommend the most affordable loan product for you.  If your reported income is still not enough, we do have other options to explore. 

Bank Statement Loans

We offer several investors with bank statement loans for self employed borrowers to be able to prove their income.  Some features:

  • 12 or 24 month personal or business bank statements
  • 2 months business with a CPA prepared Unaudited Profit and Loss
  • Most average all deposits and subtract a 50% expense figure to get average income.  A CPA letter can be used to lower the expense figure to 20%
  • UP to 90% ltv based on Credit

  • use multiple 1099, great for ride share, delivery or contractors who work for more than one party
  • Straightforward qualifying, no taxes needed

Outside the box is in our wheelhouse

Sometimes, your situation is outside the norm.  In that case, give us a call.  We work with several investors who have non traditional programs that are simply based on each transaction and the risk involved.  If we cant find or dont have the best program for you, we will refer you to someone who may.
