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 must be licensed in NY or have a branch there. Then branch location, years licensed and profile completeness. Disciplinary history is not yet checked by LenDb; verify at NMLS Consumer Access. No paid placement. Methodology.
Same list as JSON: /api/v1/loan-officers?specialty=self-employed&state=NY. Not a lender. Not a referral service. Verify licenses at NMLS Consumer Access.
