Don't Let Tax Write-Offs Stop Your Homeownership
Running your own business is the American dream—but when it comes to getting a mortgage, traditional lenders often don't know how to evaluate your income. The good news? There are multiple loan programs designed specifically for self-employed borrowers like you.
When you write off business expenses to minimize taxable income, you inadvertently reduce the income lenders use to qualify you. A business owner showing $30,000 in taxable income might actually earn $100,000+ in real cash flow.
That's where specialized self-employed mortgage programs come in.
Bank statement loans are the most popular option for self-employed borrowers. Instead of tax returns, we use your actual bank deposits to calculate qualifying income.
If you receive 1099 forms from clients, this program uses your gross 1099 income with a reasonable expense factor applied. Perfect for:
Have significant assets but limited documented income? Asset depletion loans calculate your ability to repay based on your liquid assets divided over the loan term.
