Before you choose
Tax write-offs reduce qualifying income, so the loan officer must know both agency self-employed rules and alternative documentation options.
- How will you calculate my income from my tax returns?
- Would a bank statement or P&L loan qualify me for more?
- Do I need two years of self-employment history?
How this list is ranked
Specialty evidence carries the most weight (production data, then lender page, then self-reported). Loan officers are listed when a LA license is confirmed with the state regulator (check mark), LA is listed on their lender page, or they work at a bank or credit union (likely federally registered; verify at NMLS). Then branch location, experience (licensed since, per the regulator records we hold) and profile completeness. Disciplinary history is not yet checked by LenDb; verify at NMLS Consumer Access. No paid placement. Methodology.
