Financial analysis is not just about taking numbers and trying to grow the business. Many times it is about something more simple and personal to us all. Like getting our forever home.
There are a dozen things that go into getting a home, but none is more challenging than getting past the underwriter. This person is responsible for seeing how risky the loan is, and making sure you make enough money to cover the loan. It can be a big hurdle.
So, when we have a client come to us and they are a W-2 employee, it is pretty straight forward. But what about a person with a business of one? Think 1099, and Schedule C. IYKYK. The conundrum is they always want to pay as little in taxes as possible, but they also need to show enough income on their tax return to get that cute 2 bedroom/2 bath with a sun room they just put the option money down on.
There is no one specific instance but we have had dozens of clients we have helped get a home. First step is to know when they want to get the house. You usually need three years so new business owners need a lot of guidance. Once we are there, we help build the financials as accurately as possible to see what the numbers are. We then talk to the mortgage company to see what we might need to change to get to the number we need. (But ONLY if it is within the rules! You don’t have to report expenses if you don’t want to, but we won’t go back and fix it after the house is obtained. Sorry, you cannot have your cake and eat it too!)
We have written letters to the underwriters about the business owners, how long they have been around, what their cash flow looks like, what the numbers say, and a myriad of other things all on neat letterhead from a friendly CPA who is working to get our clients into the home. We have a lot of successes in this and understand this market very well to know what is needed to get this accomplished.
