01

Review the entity structure

Ownership percentages, operating history, K-1s and business returns can affect which documents are required and how income is evaluated.

02

Separate cash from qualifying income

Strong business revenue or account balances do not always translate directly into mortgage qualifying income. The analysis depends on documented income, obligations and program rules.

03

Coordinate before major changes

Large transfers, new debt, ownership changes or tax-return amendments can complicate a file. Discuss planned changes with your mortgage and tax professionals before acting.
