    What the Mortgage Calculator Does not Tell you!! Guest: Cam Lewis/Lower Mortgage

    What does the mortgage calculator NOT tell you? 🏡 In this conversation, I sit down with Cam Lewis of Lower Mortgage to talk about what buyers—especially entrepreneurs and self-employed professionals—need to know before applying for a mortgage. We discuss: ✔️ What the online mortgage calculator may be missing ✔️ How lenders determine what you actually qualify for ✔️ How entrepreneurs and business owners can qualify for a mortgage ✔️ Why your business revenue isn't necessarily the same as your qualifying income ✔️ How tax deductions can affect mortgage qualification ✔️ What documentation self-employed buyers should be prepared to provide ✔️ The importance of credit, debt, income and financial history ✔️ Tips to put yourself in the strongest position before applying ✔️ Common mistakes entrepreneurs make when preparing to buy a home If you're self-employed, own a business, work as an entrepreneur, or have income that doesn't fit neatly into a traditional W-2 paycheck, this conversation is one you won't want to miss! Cam brings valuable insight into navigating the mortgage process and helping buyers understand their options. Lower notes that self-employed borrowers may have several financing paths depending on how their income is documented, including conventional and alternative-documentation options.
