Boosting Income Multiples With Non-job Options

This is the 5th and last of the ‘Boosting Income Multiples’ series. As said in the previous Tips, buying a home for some people, no matter the amount of desire, might require a bit of planning over time, but the sooner the planning is identified and implemented, the closer you will be to doing what you want. Sometimes you can increase your "income" on paper without a new job. Maintenance Payments: If you receive court-ordered maintenance, some lenders will accept 100% of this as income. Benefits: Permanent benefits (like PIP, DLA, or Child Benefit) are accepted by many lenders as income, boosting your total borrowing power.
