Mortgages, cash-out & HELOCs — every hour counted

Double-time Sundays. Storm work. Per-diem.
Every hour should count.

A journeyman clearing $140K can get qualified like a $38/hr base earner — if the loan officer is lazy. Ours aren't. W-2 overtime documented right, contractor deposits read at full strength, cash-out and equity lines without tax returns.

Your specialist shops your file across a 90+ lender network, including

Wholesale and TPO lending relationships available to brokers in the network. All names are trademarks of their respective owners; no endorsement or affiliation is implied.

You cleared $140K. The lazy file said $79K.

Underwriting rules genuinely allow overtime, premium pay, and consistent per-diem — averaged over history — but plenty of loan officers just don't do the work. And if you run your own shop, the van, tools, and materials write-offs shrink your Schedule C the way they shrink every contractor's. Both problems have the same fix: a specialist who documents the file the way the guidelines actually allow, or a program that reads deposits instead.

We speak fluent IBEW and independent alike

W-2 + OT, documented right

YTD stubs with overtime detail, employer or union verification, two-year averaging — the boring paperwork that adds six figures of buying power.

Own-shop deposits at full strength

Bank statement programs read 12–24 months of deposits — progress payments, materials reimbursements, seasonal swings all average in.

The union-to-owner transition

Went out on your own last year? Programs accept 12 months self-employed backed by your union W-2 history in the same trade.

Sparkies who got counted

"Two lenders used my base rate. My specialist documented three years of storm work and doubles — the approval went up $190K."

"Left the local to start my own shop, and twelve months in I bought a house on my deposits. Nobody blinked at the write-offs."
Andre F. · Bank statement purchase · Phoenix, AZ
"HELOC bought the second van and a trencher. Cheaper than the dealer's financing and my 3.1% first mortgage never moved."

Fair questions, straight answers

Does overtime and double-time count?

Yes, with documented history it averages into qualifying income — the catch is the loan officer has to actually document it. Ours do.

Does travel per-diem count?

With some lenders, when it's consistent and documented — that's a lender-matching question, and it's exactly what we do.

I run my own shop with heavy write-offs. Options?

Bank statement programs qualify you on 12–24 months of deposits; 1099 programs on gross contractor income. Your deductions stay.

I just went independent after years in the union. Too soon?

Usually not — 12 months self-employed with prior W-2 history in the same trade opens several programs.

Base pay is half the story.
Tell the whole one.
