Hi All - I'm looking to get pre-approved for a home mortgage. A couple of major banks I've worked with both refuse to take into account my OTE salary when looking at my income (and my offer letter) and instead are just using my base salary as my income.
They say if I have records of receiving my bonus for the past 2 years then they can use the full OTE amount. I've only been in this role for 2 months; my prior roles did not have a commission/bonus component.
Any tips on lenders out there who look at full OTE? Any tips on how to navigate around this?
Thank you!
