You'll probably be okay, but the 15 months "volunteer help" could be a small challenge. It all depends on the details. Pick a good, experienced mortgage officer and let them help you through it - but get going NOW! Good luck - I'll be glad to help if you like.

You should be ok, talk with a local lender.

Working for a family business is usually not a problem, however the 15 months volunteer thing could be a problem if you didn't have a income generating job during this time.. Lenders are required to verify your income for the past 2 years.. and if you have changed employment during that time, they look to see that your in the same "Field of employment" with your new job compared to your past job.. If you did a career change, then it's possible this could be your hiccup.. this is a perfect example of why I always advise folks to use a broker rather than the local bank or internet bank.. Brokers have a vast network with multiple lenders, and they seek out the best loan product for your specific scenario.. however with the big bank.. there's one lending program, and if you don't meet their specific guidelines, your denied.. do yourself a favor, and contact a local broker..

As long as you are on regular payroll and don't have ownership, your application will be treat it as normal employment. There will be additional verification to ensure you "really" work there. Good Luck
