Self-Employed Refinance in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Fort Lauderdale homeowners use a self-employed refinance for the same reasons owners statewide do — but local property values, equity, and timing decide whether it pays off. As a Florida broker we shop multiple lenders for your Fort Lauderdale self-employed refinance and run the break-even before you spend a dollar.

Self-employed Florida homeowners are often penalized at refinance time because write-offs shrink their reported income. A bank-statement or 1099 refinance qualifies you on actual deposits or contractor income instead of adjusted tax returns.

Traditional refinances use your net taxable income, which for a business owner can look far smaller than what you really earn. Bank-statement programs average 12-24 months of deposits; 1099 programs use your gross contractor income. Either can unlock a refinance a conventional lender would deny.

These are non-QM loans, so pricing runs slightly above conventional — but for someone who cannot document income the old way, it is the difference between refinancing and not. We shop the self-employed lenders to keep the rate as tight as possible.
