Working for family business. Loan approval?

Me and my husband made an offer on a home after receiving a pre-approval for a home loan. We are in the middle of trying to close and only just now realized that if you work for a family business then it is a different process to be approved for a home loan.My husband is a W-2 employee for his parents company and has been for the past 10 years. He does however own 6% of company stock.Are we likely to still be approved? My loan officer hasn't given much information about it except that we will need to send tax returns at some point. I am also getting a copy of the K1 just in case they ask for it. I am really worried about not getting our loan approved now. Is this going to make a final approval too difficult? by angpeterson32806 from San Mateo, California. Apr 8th 2022 Reply

What type of loan did you apply for, conventional, FHA or VA? You should be fine but you may need to supply proof that your husband only owns 6%. You might have to provide business and personal tax returns for the last 2 years. | John Burke | Senior Mortgage Banker | Lending in ALL 50 states |Stride Bank | jburke@stridebank.com | (877)228-9069 | NMLS# 787231 |
