Define inconsistent? What do you do for income? Typically we average out the income over a specified period of time. It may lowers your pre approval but you can defiantly buy a home.Kelly FontesGeneva Financial702-400-9241

It depends on what shows on your tax returns as income after business expenses. Consistent income is important for loan approval.

Having seasonal income is not a problem for most lenders, but if you try talking to the local bank on the corner, your chances of getting approved is very slim.. For this reason, i always suggest you contact a LOCAL mortgage broker and apply with them. Once they see your complete loan scenario as well as your income breakdown, they can advise you properly.. Also, by applying with your LOCAL Broker, you have an advantage because he's familiar with local customs and works with numerous lenders (I have 21), seeking out the best loan terms for your particular scenario. More lenders, means more loan options and the more likely you are to get approved. Because he has lower overhead, he can offer you lower rates and lower fees than most of the larger lenders.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. William J.
