Self-Employed? MortgageDepot Has Your Back in Mortgage Land!

Getting a mortgage as a self-employed borrower can be complicated, but it’s not impossible. If you are a self-employed borrower in Pennsylvania, there are things you can do to make your financial situation more attractive to lenders.

Here’s a twist: What if you are a self-employed borrower with losses under your belt? Is getting approved for a mortgage a hopeless cause?

At MortgageDepot, getting approved for a mortgage in Pennsylvania is never a hopeless cause. We don’t always count self-employed losses against a borrower. Let’s examine the following circumstances:

Situation #1: Your self-employed income is a side job.

If you have a non-self-employed job as your primary source of income, MortgageDepot can help you clear a path toward a mortgage. Even if your side hustle is taking some time to get off the ground, you might still be able to reach your real estate goals. Here are a couple of examples:

• If you are a UPS driver with a computer repair service that you run on the side, any losses from your computer repair service won’t count against you when you partner with MortgageDepot.
• If you are a police officer with an off-hours gutter cleaning service, we won’t deduct any losses incurred from your gutter cleaning service from your police officer income.

Situation #2: You are self-employed, but your self-employment income is not your primary source of income.

What if your self-employment is your only job, but not your only source of income? This situation might sound confusing, but it does happen. Check out these examples:

• If you are a retired borrower who runs a consulting firm as a secondary source of income, your retirement income might be considered your primary income.
• If you are a disabled borrower with a dog grooming service, your disability income might be considered your primary income.

In both of these situations, losses from self-employment probably won’t count against you when you are mortgage shopping with MortgageDepot by your side.
