Smart tax planning can make your home-buying dream a reality in 2024.

Are you self-employed and looking to dive into the housing market in 2024? Before you rush to file your taxes with every possible deduction, there's crucial advice you need to consider. Many self-employed individuals, in an effort to minimize their tax liabilities, write off a significant amount of business expenses. While this strategy can lead to savings on your tax bill, it might also inadvertently reduce your qualifying income for a mortgage.

The challenge arises when lenders review your tax returns. The more deductions you claim, the lower your taxable income appears. Consequently, this might affect your ability to qualify for a home loan, as lenders heavily rely on these figures to assess your borrowing capacity. It's a common hurdle that many self-employed homebuyers encounter, but with proper planning, it can be overcome.
