Understanding Self-Employed Mortgage Challenges

As a self-employed individual, you're likely familiar with the challenges of qualifying for a mortgage. Traditional lenders often rely heavily on tax returns, which may not accurately reflect your current income due to business deductions and write-offs. At National Mortgage Home Loans, we understand these challenges and offer alternative mortgage solutions tailored to your unique financial situation.

Our mortgage programs are designed to consider the full picture of your financial strength, not just your tax returns. Whether you're a business owner, freelancer, or independent contractor, we have options that can help you achieve your homeownership goals.

Don't let tax write-offs hold you back from qualifying for the mortgage you deserve.

You can use either personal or business bank statements, making it a flexible option for various self-employed situations.

Asset-Based Loans for Financial Flexibility

If you have significant assets in savings, investments, or retirement accounts, our Asset-Based Loan program can help you qualify for a mortgage. This program considers your total qualifying assets divided by the loan term to determine your monthly income, providing an alternative to traditional income qualification methods.

This option is particularly beneficial for those with substantial assets but irregular income streams. It's also a good choice for retirees or those nearing retirement who want to leverage their assets for home financing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, our Bank Statement Loan and Asset-Based Loan programs allow self-employed borrowers to qualify based on alternative documentation. For bank statement loans, we typically require 12-24 months of statements. For asset-based loans, we consider your total qualifying assets divided by the loan term to determine monthly income.

We analyze your average monthly deposits over the statement period to determine your qualifying income. This includes regular business or personal deposits from your work activity, while excluding one-time transfers and loan proceeds.

Rates for bank statement loans are typically 0.5% to 1.5% higher than conventional loans. However, the ability to qualify based on actual cash flow often means you can qualify for a larger loan amount, which can offset the rate difference. Our loan officers can help you understand the total cost and benefits.

Yes, our Profit and Loss Statement Loan program accepts CPA-prepared P&L statements as primary income documentation. This is particularly helpful for business owners with strong revenue but significant tax write-offs. The P&L must reflect your current financial situation and business income.

Our pre-approval process typically takes 7-10 business days. We require basic financial information and documentation, such as bank statements or P&L statements, depending on the program you're applying for. Our loan officers will guide you through the required documents and timeline.
