A stated income loan is a mortgage where the lender does not verify the borrower’s income by looking at their pay stubs, W-2 (employee income) forms, income tax returns, or other records. Instead, borrowers are simply asked to state their income, and taken at their word. This loan is traditionally used for self-employed borrowers or borrowers who have trouble providing full documentation.
