Questions borrowers ask

Mortgage Loans for Self-Employed Borrowers in Florida FAQs

These answers are educational summaries. Current Bluestar Mortgage Inc. program guidelines and final underwriting control.

How long must I be self-employed?

The required history depends on the program and strength of the overall file. A shorter history may be considered only in limited circumstances with related prior experience and supporting documentation.

Why is qualifying income different from my business revenue?

Underwriting generally evaluates sustainable income available to the borrower after considering expenses, ownership share and applicable program adjustments.

What is a bank-statement loan?

It is an alternative-documentation program that may analyze eligible deposits over a specified period rather than relying solely on traditional tax-return income. Methods vary.

Can retained business funds be used for closing?

Possibly, when permitted and when withdrawal does not harm business operations. Additional analysis or documentation may be required.

Should I amend my taxes to qualify?

Tax and legal decisions should be made with qualified advisors, not solely for a mortgage. A loan review can identify available options based on accurate existing documents.
