being a self employed expat and getting a mortgage

[Account Closed]

Hello all,

I'm running into a problem obtaining a mortgage. Because I live overseas and am self employed, no lenders seem to want to lend to me, as they don't see income on my 1040. I report my income in my taxes, but pay no income tax on it because of government regulations.

So I've been looking at stared income mortgages, which don't require you to submit tax returns, and take less documentation in general. My credit score is pretty high. I would appreciate recommendations of places that offer them or hearing of people experience with it. 

Many thanks,
