That’s where Mortgages by Scott steps in. We provide flexible mortgage solutions designed specifically for self-employed borrowers in Georgia.

Why It’s Different for the Self-Employed in Georgia

From Atlanta’s thriving tech and creative scenes to rural small business owners and tradespeople, Georgia has a strong base of independent professionals. But even with a healthy income, it can be hard to qualify for a conventional loan if your finances don’t fit neatly on a W-2.

Our self-employed loan programs are built to work with your actual income—not just what shows up after deductions. We understand how Georgia’s self-employed operate and we’re here to make your path to homeownership clear and achievable.
