Which documentation path fits a Hamburg borrower

  • Livingston County has 16,066 businesses with no paid employees, concentrated in professional & technical services. That figure counts tax filings rather than people, but it tells you how common this file is here.
  • Bank statements suit an owner with steady deposits and heavy write-offs. A 1099 path suits a contractor with few expenses. A profit-and-loss path suits clean books and a CPA who will sign. Asset depletion suits someone asset-rich with little current income.
  • Lenders qualify you on net income after deductions, not revenue. Depreciation and other non-cash expenses are commonly added back, so your qualifying figure is usually higher than the bottom line of your Schedule C. Ask to see that calculation line by line.

Quick questions

Can I get a mortgage in Hamburg if I write off most of my income?

Yes. That is exactly what bank statement, 1099 and asset-depletion programs exist for. They qualify you on deposits, 1099s or assets instead of your net tax figure.

How long do I need to be self-employed?

Two years is the standard, with documented exceptions at one year where there is prior history in the same field. You are generally treated as self-employed at 25% or greater ownership.

Is Atlantis a bank or a broker?

A wholesale broker. Atlantis does not lend its own money; it places your loan with one of 50+ wholesale lenders that compete for it, which is why a file one bank declined can still close.
