Most loan officers forget to help borrowers increase the amount of their income that can be used to qualify. Items like depreciation and salaries which were paid to them through their businesses, can be added. In addition to traditional financing, I also understand the intricacies of alternative loan programs For example bank statement programs which uses deposit amounts to verify income versus tax returns. This is an awesome solution for those who have cash businesses , requested an extension on their taxes and or those who simply have great accountants who have been able to minimize their tax liabilities. I also offer no doc and stated loans programs. Remember that these alternative loan programs will come with above market mortgage rates.
