One question we’re seeing a lot throughout the industry right now is: “How do I buy a house if I’m self-employed?”

The process DOES look a little different for those who are self-employed, freelancers, small business owners, or gig workers.

Normally, you’ll need to provide a W-2 when applying for a mortgage.

But with Statement Select, Waterstone Mortgage’s bank statement program, you can use your bank statements to qualify — no W-2 needed.

This article walks through the process — check it out: https://bit.ly/4wY4pHu

Could refinancing put more money back in your pocket?

If you bought a home between 2023 and 2025, it may be worth taking another look at your mortgage. New research from LendingTree shows nearly one-third of homeowners who purchased during those years may be able to lower their rate or monthly payment in today’s market.

Even a small rate reduction could mean meaningful monthly savings — helping free up room for home improvements, savings, debt payoff, or everyday expenses.

Every situation is different, so it’s important to review your full financial picture.

If you’d like to explore whether refinancing makes sense, let’s crunch the numbers together. Send a message, and we’ll explore which option makes the most sense for you.
