Our weekly virtual meeting went well this past Wednesday morning. We went into breakout rooms for 15 minutes then began the formal meeting. We welcomed a few visitors.

Juan Tejada, our groups' Mortgage Specialist was our featured speaker. He spoke about w2 employees vs business owners.

If you’re self-employed and were recently denied by a bank for a home loan, don’t panic—there may still be another option.

Traditional lenders often rely heavily on tax returns to calculate your qualifying income. But there are mortgage programs specifically designed for self-employed borrowers that can use 12–24 months of bank statements instead of tax returns to document income.

So if your tax returns show lower income because of legitimate business write-offs, you may still have a path to homeownership.

Reach out to Juan for a solution and consultation.
