Applying for mortgage when you’re self-employed and you want to buy a home isn’t much different than any other application. Lenders consider the same factors for a self employed borrower as they would for a W-2 borrower.These things include:

• Your Credit Score


• Your Current Debt


• Assets and Income

So what is different about analyzing a self-employed borrowers application. Well, when you are employed by someone else, your lender with check with your employer to verify the amount and history of your income, as well as to ensure the likelihood that you will continue to earn it. When you are self-employed, you’re responsible for providing the appropriate income verification information.

In order to verify this information, the documentation required for a self-employed borrower is a bit different than a traditional borrower.
