Getting a mortgage as a self-employed borrower isn't just about showing your income — it's about navigating hidden hurdles most don't see coming.
Traditional lenders want W-2s and tax returns. But self-employed income can fluctuate, making standard approval tricky.
Here's what often trips you up:
• Income verification that's more complex and time-consuming
• Higher documentation requirements like 12-24 months of bank statements
• Stricter credit score and debt-to-income ratio checks
