Profession guides

Self-Employed Mortgages by Profession

How underwriters read income for realtors, contractors, physicians, freelancers, truckers, and dozens of other self-employed professions — and which loan program fits each.

Conventional lenders apply one blunt rule to every self-employed borrower: net profit on your tax return. But a real estate agent’s commission swings, a trucker’s fuel deductions, and a physician’s practice draw all behave differently. These guides explain how Non-QM underwriting actually reads income in your line of work — and which documentation path gives you the strongest file.
