How This Mortgage Works
You have a business where you are self employed or a commissioned sales person.
You have tax write offs to minimize taxes payable. In fact your real income may be twice what your reported income is. This is a good way to save money but not a good way to qualify for a maximum mortgage.
Everyone knows that business owners write off everything they can to hide their real income from taxes. So for the purpose of this mortgage that bank will take your word as to the sum of your income. No proof required.
You will need to have good credit, prove you have been in business for two years and proof you have 15% of the purchase price for a down payment.
It Looks Like This
Your reported income is $35,000. But someone in your position could earn $135,000 in your business. So your income for the purpose of this mortgage is now $135,000 which will definately help you qualify for a much higher mortgage. The only catch is you need to have 15% down payment plus 1.5% closing costs for lawyer and appraisal.
