Frequently Asked Questions About Self-Employed Mortgages

As a relatively new loan program, the liquid asset mortgage loan, many home shoppers have questions about qualifying without the traditional W-2 income. We have the answers to these frequent questions, and can help with your specific questions at 858-229-7199.

Can I get approved for a mortgage if I'm self-employed?

Yes, self-employed individuals can certainly get approved for a mortgage. Lenders will look at your overall financial health, including your income stability, credit score, and debt-to-income ratio, to determine eligibility.

Do self-employed borrowers pay a higher mortgage rate?

Self-employed borrowers do not inherently pay higher mortgage rates. The rate is influenced by various factors, such as credit score, down payment, and the loan program you qualify for, rather than employment status alone.

What is proof of income for a self-employed mortgage?

Proof of income for self-employed individuals typically includes tax returns for the past two years, bank statements, profit and loss statements, and sometimes, a letter from a CPA verifying the stability of your business.

How do lenders calculate self-employed income for a mortgage?

Lenders calculate self-employed income by averaging your net income over the past two years, as shown on your tax returns. They consider this average alongside your current business activity and financial statements to assess your ability to sustain mortgage payments.
