Most of us have never seen economic times like this for real estate. Prices have plummeted in many markets, creating great buying opportunities. But at the same time, the credit is gone or at least dramatically changed. Where can you get money in today’s real estate market?
Loans for Residential Property in Today’s Credit World
You can count on a requirement of at least 10% down for the purchase of your principal residence. If you’re buying investment property, you’ll probably need to come up with 15 – 20% down.
Credit scores (FICO scores) are more important than ever before. Figure on needing at least a 750 score to get the good loans.
The “stated income” loans are days gone by are gone now. Everything requires a “full doc” loan, meaning you’ll have to provide copies of your tax returns plus financial statements. It doesn’t mean that a self-employed person can’t get a loan, however. You just need to make sure the mortgage broker you’re working with has a lot of experience.
Getting a Loan if You’re Self-employed
There are three steps for getting a loan if you’re self-employed:
- Get the right mortgage broker. Ideally find someone who has been in business since at least 1998. That was the last time that we went through a credit market even somewhat like this.
- Calculate all the “add backs” to determine true net income from your business. Some common examples of add backs include depreciation, health insurance, travel and auto expense.
- Have your mortgage broker prepare a LOX (letter of explanation) to accompany your application. This letter explains your add backs.

Do you use a personal credit card or pseudo-business card (which is really a personal credit card) for your business on a regular basis? If you do, you’re like 65% of all small business owners and that means you have a big problem.
- You have commingled your business and personal credit. That means all of your personal assets are at risk.
- Your personal credit score (your FICO score) has been lowered.
- If something happens to the business, you have damaged your personal credit history.
And, even worse, you’ve limited how much your business can grow. You can get 10 to 100 times MORE credit with business credit then you can personally.
And it gets better. You can build business credit no matter how bad your personal credit might be right now.
But you have to do it right. And that means following the “Eight Steps to Building Ultimate Business Credit Without a Personal Guarantee.”

The IRS is on a major attack!
They are now sending out audit teams to select groups of taxpayers. If they select you for audit, and you don’t pass the initial round of questions, you can expect a long, expensive process. The average IRS audit costs $5,500 in taxes. But, that’s just the beginning. You probably will have an additional $2,750 in penalties and interest. Plus you can count on $2,000 or more for professional guidance. If you fight the assessment, add another $10,000 or more in fees.
All told, that little IRS notice will probably mean you need to be ready to write a check for at least $10,000.
Learn how to avoid the red flags that are certain to mean an IRS notice with this 52:11 teleseminar by CPA and Tax Strategist Diane Kennedy.
