NEED HELP!! RESIDENTIAL LENDERS
Hello fellow BPers, heres the scenario:
I want to get a mortgage for multifamily property. I am self employed, I claimed unemployment since march of last year (2020). I’m unsure as to how this may help or hurt me. I live in NY
I have 795 credit score, no debt, and 75k liquid in the bank.
Any advice or actions I can take to further this process and goal of mine? Should I have any issues getting a loan?
What can I do to get around rejections if thats happens?
Thank you for your time.

Of course you qualify for a mortgage; just not conventional Fannie and Freddie guaranteed.
You need a mortgage broker to show you what a portfolio/non-qm loan can do for you. With your credit score and cash in the bank, you'd end up at the upper end of pricing and could get a loan for a purchase at 75% loan to value. It's not conventional, so don't expect rates in the 3's, but high 4's on a 30 year fixed with a few points is certainly in the ballpark.
Plenty of mortgage brokers to help you right here on BP
Best of luck
