Self-employed? You Can Still Get a Mortgage!
The joys of being self-employed—not answering to a “boss,” making your own decisions, hours, time off—is all terrific. Until, that is, it comes time to apply for a mortgage, because mortgage lenders are very concerned about projecting your future income… which is hard to do when it’s erratic!
Pre-qualify for a mortgage loan
There’s no reason to despair! Your situation may feel unique, but Avrus Financial and Mortgage has years of experience helping self-employed people just like you find just the right mortgage loan at the best interest rates.
In fact, there are now more opportunities to qualifying on a mortgage for self-employed people than ever before. Certain mortgage products, such as the Stated Income/Stated Asset Mortgage, and low-documentation mortgages, are readily available to you.
In general, you’ll have to supply more documentation than borrowers with full-time regular employment, but that’s very feasible. It’s not something you can do easily on your own, however, and that’s where Avrus Financial and Mortgage comes in: we know exactly what lenders are looking for from self-employed persons, and we can help!
You’re more likely to qualify for mortgage loans for self-employed individuals if you pump up other parts of your mortgage application. In particular:
- Apply for your self-employment mortgage with the best credit score you can muster. A high credit score is always your goal, but for a self-employment mortgage, what you’re looking for is a spectacular credit score.
- Pay off all of your debt. If you can’t do that, then pay off all of your consumer A mortgage for self-employed persons is easier to obtain when there are no other competing debts owed.
- The biggest down payment you can afford will also help secure this self-employment mortgage for you. The lenders look at it this way: the more equity you have in the real estate deal, the less likely you are to walk away from it.
- Another asset is your cash reserves. Not having predictable income can be mitigated when seeking a self-employed mortgage loan when you show you have significant cash available for mortgage payments should your income become irregular.
- Documenting years of self-employment is far preferable to having just struck out on your own this year.
