Byron Mortgage Broker — Bad Credit / Recovery Client Playbook
Byron: Securing a mortgage after past business cash flow gaps.
A 580 credit score or self-employed income doesn't mean homeownership is off the table. B-lenders and alternative trust companies underwrite the equity and the story — not just the algorithm.
The Local Challenge: A small-business owner in Byron whose corporate financial statements told a stronger story than a two-year-old personal tax return — but the local bank branch only wanted to read the T1.
