Find the Right Mortgage That Fits Your Business Income

One of the main issues self-employed individuals face is the difficulty in proving their income. Many business owners are motivated to expense as much as possible in order to minimize their taxes payable, which is not always recognized by lenders. This can make it difficult to provide the necessary proof of income required to obtain a mortgage.

As a self-employed individual, you may find it difficult to provide the standard proof of income required by most lenders. However, this does not mean you are unable to obtain a mortgage. At DLC Homestead Financial, we can help you find a mortgage solution that fits your business income and allows you to finance your dream home.

Documents Required for Self-Employed Mortgage

In order to qualify for a self-employed mortgage, you will typically be required to provide certain supporting documents along with your mortgage application. These may include personal tax returns and Notices of Assessment from the past 2-3 years, financial statements for your business, proof that your HST and/or GST is paid in full, contracts showing expected revenue for the coming years, your personal and business bank statements, and proof that you are a principal owner in the business.

Once we understand your goals and have your information we will let you know exactly what could be possible and what documents will be required.

Unable to Provide Standard Proof of Income?
