Olga Semenov is a mortgage broker and mortgage expert who offers a wide variety of loan types for many situations. Many self-employed folks and business owners struggle to qualify for a conventional loan because of the requirement to qualify with tax returns. Olga talks about why self-employed buyers do not need to forego write-offs and pay unnecessary taxes to get a loan. We talk about loan programs designed to help people qualify using other methods, and why these alternative loan types might save you money on taxes. We also discuss why mortgage rates have risen despite the Fed cutting rates, and living with a generosity mindset.
