If you are self employed you are probably aware of the different financing rules that apply for self employed borrowers.

If you are newly self employed and have been in the same line of work for 2 years, most lenders will use your previous employment record to satisfy the 2 year self employment history requirements.

You will probably need a letter from your CPA to verify that you are self-employed. Your CPA is the only person who can verify that you own your own business.

Many lenders ask for a business license thats active and has been active for at least 2 years. This is proof of self employment for many lenders. In cases where the business does not require a license, the CPA letter may be used.

If you have a very high credit score or a large down payment your mortgage professional may be able to waive the income documentation requirement entirely. You may need credit scores of 720+ or a 25% down payment. Be sure to ask you preferred mortgage professional if you qualify for a income documentation waiver.

Because of the trouble documenting income for many self-employed borrowers, a stated income, no doc., no ratio, or bank statement program is used many times for income documentation for a self-employed borrower. Many self-employed borrowers actually make a good amount of money, and enough money to qualify them for the loan, however instead of going through the headaches of trying to document their income with tax returns for the last two years, a current balance sheet, a current profit and loss statement signed and verified by their CPA, and a CPA letter to show proof of being self-employed for the last 2 years many borrowers will just opt for a reduced documentation loan. Sometimes if your credit score is high enough you are still able to qualify for the best rates and you don't have to take a rate bump for the reduced documentation.

In some cases, bank statements may be used as documentation of self-employment income. Check with your mortgage professional.

In some cases, in lieu of a letter from the Certified Public Accountant, banks accept Articles of Incorporation and professional licenses as proof of self-employment.
