Mortgage Brokers Offer Solid Advice to Self-Employed Borrowers

While self-employed borrowers face some unique challenges in securing a mortgage, Karen Gibbard, a licensed mortgage broker has access to a range of specialized products created for this group. 

If you are self-employed, chances are the income shown on your tax returns has been reduced by several legitimate tax “write-offs.”  Historically, this situation left self-employed individuals at a disadvantage to those on salary when it came to the mortgage amount for which they could get approved.  Karen has access to an arsenal of mortgage products that will recognize “undeclared income” or allow declared income to be “grossed up.”  These products will allow a self- employed borrower to qualify for a larger mortgage than has traditionally been available.

If you are self-employed and have had some credit issues, Karen Gibbard may still be able to arrange a mortgage without the standard proof of income.  Please give us a call.
