Free idea for you guys - create a mortgage company geared towards financing Entrepreneurs, Self-Employed and Sole Proprietors. Huge need and I estimate Huge demand. Here is why:
I tried to buy a house this week. Didn't happen, couldn't get financing. But why? Surely I wasn't buying too much house. Nope. Evidently the new mortgage rules are heavily skewed against Entrepreneurs...and the reasons will blow you away!
Here is a list of the reasons for my multiple rejections:
1. Buying a house of less value than the last one I owned
Really? You want me to spend more?
2. Income was less than previous year. (Had a banner year last year) You wish I made less?
3. Buying a house disproportional to income. HA! (Mortgage is less than I make in a year)
4. Improper salary vs dividend income. (Just my salary would qualify, just my dividend would qualify...but nope, ratio problem)
Ha! This all had me laughing so hard I couldn't stand it. They were all "rejecty" and I was just seeing opportunity after opportunity.
Just to make you laugh some more I was putting 50% down with great credit.
Feel free to take any of these pain points and run with it! ...but please get me a mortgage
