When you are self-employed or a business owner and you want to buy a home, you fill out the same application as everyone else. The same factors are considered: your credit score, how much debt you have, your assets and your income. So what’s different? When you work for someone else, lenders go to your employer to verify the amount and history of that income, and how likely it is you’ll keep earning it.
Key West Condo Mortgage Programs
Condominiums are classified as Warrantable, Non-Warrantable or a Condotel. Condos are a single, individually-owned housing unit in a multi-unit building. The condominium owner holds sole title to the unit, but owns land and common property (elevators, halls, roof, stairs, etc.) jointly with other unit owners, and shares the upkeep expenses on the common-property with them. Unit owner pays property taxes only on his or her unit, and may mortgage, rent, or sell it just like any other personal property.
