Self employed house mortgage loan options? W SsDI Co borrower

Okay, soooo. We have about 70k coming in any day lump sum, and then my work, but net on taxes is super low, I write off so much every year because I am self employed. I don't get a refund per se, since most of my work is service related. Husband gets 22k w ssdi, (refuses to go through the process w va for disability so ugh), and he is not taxed on ssdi.

Now, we are selling our house, and looking to buy another w a loan, but the lender is hating I am self employed.

I've been self employed for YEARS. And am rebuilding after that covi shutdown which heavily impacted my business so my income went down by about 35%. But, how do you qualify if they are sketchy bc of self employment?

It's kind of feeling like discrimination, I make okay money, it's inching back up, in a year or two, should be back to the 130k mark, hopefully will also go higher, but bc I'm self employed and write off expenses it's like SE, is a dirty word for loans?

Why? Ove worked for myself for 17 years. We own our cars, no heavy debt, owe 131k on current house.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
