How are other Providers able to rent/get mortgages?

[Guest]

So my sublease is almost up and I have to find a new place. Everywhere I apply, they keep asking me for the same documents - employment letter, tax forms, etc. How do other Tigris in this business deal with this? Also, How do you get approved for mortgages when your in this type of work?

Couple of things you can do if you are leasing or renting. Find a place thats owned by a person not a property management company. If you deal with the owner offer him as many months in advance as you can afford in cash. Tell him you will be paying by cash every month. People like cash and the owner may go for it.
Also, if you have family you may be able to get them to co-sign for a mortgage or act as a guarantor for a lease.
Other than that there is not much you can do. Hopefully people will post other ideas here.

Good Luck!

Hey there! I totally get your struggle, finding a place when you're in non-traditional employment like Tigris can be a real pain. To bypass those pesky requirements, some folks try to get a co-signer or use alternative documentation like bank statements, invoices, or contracts to show income stability. As for getting mortgages, sometimes those working in this type of industry work with a specialized mortgage broker who understands unique income situations. A friend of mine had a great experience with a Mortgage Broker in Warrington who helped them find the right loan without judging their line of work. Good luck finding a new spot!

Dealing with document requests when applying for a new place can be a bit repetitive, but it's a standard procedure for most landlords. As for getting approved for mortgages while working in the gig economy, it can be a bit different compared to traditional employment. To assess your financial stability, lenders typically look at factors like consistent income, tax returns, and bank statements. It's a good idea to work with a knowledgeable mortgage broker in Chesterfield who can guide you through the process and help you find lenders who understand the unique circumstances of gig workers.
