Can I qualify with overtime income?

Answered by Onias Derilus, Mortgage Capital · NMLS# 1859012 · Florida licensed mortgage broker

Yes, overtime counts when it has a two-year history and is expected to continue. Lenders average it over 24 months, so a strong recent stretch won't fully count if last year was light.

Bring your last two years of W-2s and recent pay stubs that itemize overtime. We'll calculate the qualifying average and, if your field reliably pays overtime, fold it into your income for a larger approval.
