Understanding Self-Employed Income

Business owners, freelancers, contractors, and entrepreneurs often structure income differently than traditional W-2 employees. That can make the mortgage process feel more complicated, but it does not mean homeownership is out of reach.

  • One year or two years tax returns depending on program
  • Bank statement loan options may be available
  • Profit and loss documentation may be used
  • Flexible options for LLCs, S-Corps, sole proprietors, and independent contractors

Frequently Asked Questions

How many years of tax returns do I need?

Some programs may require two years, while others may allow one year depending on the loan type, income history, and overall borrower profile.

Can I qualify using bank statements instead of tax returns?

Bank statement programs may allow income to be reviewed using business or personal bank deposits instead of traditional tax return calculations.

Are profit and loss statements accepted?

In some cases, a profit and loss statement may help support the income review, depending on the program and documentation requirements.

Can I qualify if my income varies from year to year?

Yes. Variable income does not automatically prevent approval. The right approach depends on income history, documentation, credit, assets, and the loan program.

What credit score do I need?

Credit score requirements vary by program. Chet can help review your situation and explain which options may fit best.
