Alternative Income Documentation Options
Are you self employed and don’t show enough income on your tax returns? We have options if you need a loan, but don’t show enough income on your tax returns to qualify. Bank statements, profit and loss statements, and even liquid assets can be used instead to qualify for your next loan.
Please contact us to discuss what documentation you have available, and we can help determine which qualification method is right for you.
