U.S. fashion designer living in Sao Paulo buys a second home in Miami.

An up and coming fashion designer with dual Brazilian and U.S. passports wanted to buy a home in Miami, where she grew up.

The Client

An up and coming fashion designer with dual Brazilian and U.S. passports wanted to buy a home in Miami, where she grew up. She is self-employed and therefore it doesn’t show on her U.S. tax returns her true ability to service the loan.

How We Helped

For self-employed clients, showing the ability to repay the debt can be challenging. Although the tax returns may not reflect her ability to repay the loan, her cash-flow is significant. We were able to find her a loan that did not require any tax returns and went strictly off the cash-flow (rental amount) from the property.
