Level Up Mortgage Lending | Conventional Loan

Self Employed Loans

Self-employed home loans, also known as non-QM loans, are designed for borrowers who may not meet traditional lending requirements. They account for income that can fluctuate and be harder to document. These loans typically require a larger down payment and a higher credit score, but offer more flexible qualification.

Borrowers may need to provide additional documentation such as bank statements, profit-and-loss statements, and tax returns. These loans give entrepreneurs and freelancers a path to homeownership.
