Your Tax Returns Do Not Show Sufficient Income In order to obtain a self-employed mortgage, most lenders would want to see your personal Notices of Assessment from the past 2-3 years. Those who are able to provide this proof of income can generally access the same mortgage products and rates as traditional borrowers. If your tax returns don’t show sufficient income to help you qualify for the mortgage, but in reality you make a strong income, then your application is qualified using a “stated income” approach. |
You must have a good credit history and provide a minimum down payment of 10%. With stated income, lenders are also looking for the “gross income” you report on your tax returns to be consistent to what is being stated. Your net amount on line 150, after all of your business expenses, will likely be much smaller, and that is okay.
As a self-employed with excellent credit, you can enjoy purchasing your primary residence with an “A” lender using 10% down. If there is a big gap between the gross reported and what is stated, it is very likely that the lender will ask for a down payment of 20% or more or you will need to bring in another partner who shows income and good credit to help strengthen your application.
In addition to your Notices of Assessment, some of the other supporting documentation a lender may require for a self-employed mortgage application include:
