We're first time home buyers and looking for a mortgage. Here is my situation: My spouse is self employed. He has good income and he will be able to prove it. But the problem is I work part time so I don't get paid highly. So, my wages wont be included. I need to know where can we get a mortgage in such a situation.
Since your spouse has an handsome income, then not to worry about the situation. Just your husband's credit score is required and please contact the lender and give all necessary information.
Colby, we can't give you a specifically good answer because we don't know enough about your circumstances with what you've provided.
Discuss your situation with a lender or two in your area, find someone you're very comfortable with and have trust in, and you'll probably be dealing with someone who is compassionate and able to deal with whatever situation you're in.

Colby,
Just because you work part time and dont make as much as your husband does not mean that your income cant be used to qualify for a loan. Actually, depending on credit scores your income may help your situation in obtaining a loan.
Your best bet is to sit down with a loan professional in your area and see how you can qualify with and/or without you on the loan.

If you can document the self employed income, you are fine.
If you are trying to say that you need a stated income mortgage because the self employed income can not be documented, then you had best note what county and what state the purchased property will be in. Such mortgage porgrams exist in limited areas of the United States. You will not get a good answer here unless the county and state are indicated.
Where stated income mortgages are available for self employed, the typical down payment needed is 30% to 40% down payment.
