Are you self-employed and beginning a home purchase or refinance? Union Home Mortgage has always taken world-class care of borrowers who are self-employed.
If you’re self-employed and partaking in the COVID-19 housing environment, here are a couple things you should know as you begin the journey:
- Income and Asset Documentation: Under non-COVID circumstances, self-employed borrowers have flexible requirements in order to obtain a mortgage without the traditional documentation. However, it is important to note that expiration dates for documents are currently 60 days as opposed to the usual 120 days.
- Additional Documentation: There are also modifications due to coronavirus regarding the required documents in the mortgage application process.
-
- Audited or Unaudited year-to-date (YTD) Profit and Loss Statement (P&L). It must be signed by you (the borrower) and it must report business revenue (i.e. gross receipts or sales), expenses and net income. The YTD P&L must also include the most recent month preceding the application received date.
- Two (2) months’ business account statements dated within the previous 60 days represented on the YTD P&L.
