My dad ran a restaurant in the San Gabriel Valley for 20 years. When he tried to buy a house, the bank looked at his tax return and said no.
I became a broker in 2014 to fix that. Most of my clients are freelancers, business owners, creators and investors whose real income doesn't fit on a W-2.
I live in Culver City, and I still personally review every bank statement and rent roll that comes in.
