Introduction
It can be extremely challenging trying to qualify for a mortgage when you’re not in a normal hourly or salary position. Generally, when it’s time to verify your income, you’ll need to provide your W-2’s along with pay stubs from the last 2 years. Having a non-traditional career makes this option no longer viable. Thankfully, at Avanti Way Financial we have solutions for you to qualify for a mortgage based solely on your true take home over the last 12 to 24 months. We have options for both bank statement loans as well as 1099 based loans! Perfect for business owners, freelance employees, consultants, independent contractors, real estate agents and entrepreneurs. We make getting a mortgage without a w-2 easy.
To qualify for a bank statement loan you must:
- Be either the business owner or self-employed for at least 2 years.
- Have a credit score of 660 or above.
- Have 12 or 24 months of bank statements.
- Own 25% or more of the business.
- Have under 80% LTV.
- Need between $150,000 and $3,000,002.
- Put a minimum of 10% down payment.
To qualify for a 1099 based loan you must have:
- 1099s for the last 2 years from the same employer.
- A minimum 620 FICO.
- Less than 50% DTI.
- Under 90% LTV on purchases.
- A paystub showing YTD income or acknowledgement from employer / written verification.
- Proof that you do not have mandatory expenses.
- A letter from your CPA regarding expenses.
