Self-Employed Borrower
Being self employed generally means you own and operate the business where you work. Many borrowers who are self-employed have good credit and strong finances but cannot provide the traditional means of income verification often required by lenders. Don’t worry, most lenders offer mortgages to Self-Employed Borrowers, but the Underwriting process requires additional documentation (usually tax documentation and company documentation) to verify the Borrower’s income.
