MORTGAGES FOR THE SELF-EMPLOYED and COMMISSIONED INCOME Homebuyer in MN and WI
Including Doctors, Lawyers, CEO, Business Owners, Bartenders, Waiter / Waitress, etc

Self employed individuals often ask … “Why is it so difficult to qualify for mortgage financing?”

Self-employed borrowers, those who work on commission, or those who receive tipped income present one of the most challenging areas of mortgage underwriting. Qualifying self-employed people often requires significant extra time, energy, and patience. A fair and honest pre-qualification requires a special set of Loan Officer skills and expertise.

Long gone are the days when any Loan Officer could give you a low doc, no doc, or stated income loan to a self-employed borrower without any knowledge, training, or special considerations.

Today, mortgage qualifying is difficult,  The vast majority of mortgage companies, and especially Mortgage Loan Officers, are afraid to work on a self-employed persons home loan, or simply lack the extra knowledge and skill required to review complicated tax returns to get self-employed people a home loan.

Generally speaking, it's tougher for the self-employed buyer to qualify a mortgage because it is hard to answer the question: "What is your income?"

• What did you earn, what did you write off? Taking advantage of tax laws to reduce income is great for reducing tax liability, but also shows you make less money, making a potential home mortgage loan approval difficult.
• Next lenders are looking to see a income history. Is income increasing, decreasing, stable? This all comes into play for self-employed, commissions, and tipped income home buyers and those interested in a refinance.

Trusting your approval to an unlicensed bank rep at a call center is not wise. You need a self-employed mortgage loan expert, like us!
