Need some advise on a seller-financed refi
I hope this is not interpreted as a solisitation I know that is against the rules but I do have a question on my primary residence.
I have had problems in the past securing loans because of my lack of W-2 income. I have excellent credit. I bought an owner finance house in 2013. The price has increased quite a bit around 50%. It was 225k now around 350k+. Which is good but I would like to get bank financing. My issue is I quit my job last year and started a landscape business. I have some financial info on the tax return from 2015 from the landscaping but it is minimal. I do own 2 small Multifamily properties but I don’t think they show that much profit on the tax returns. Can I finance my primary for the 217k or whatever is left? I am hoping to use the equity in the home as the downpayment. I was thinking I could ask my Mom to cosign, would that work? Is there a way to secure a bank loan in these circumstances?
Thank you for any advise
