CPA will not draft "comfort letter" for self employment

Hi Guys,

I am 72 hours away from closing on a home, and my mortgage company is demanding a "comfort letter" attesting to my self-employment. The CPA who filed my taxes won't touch this and they just rejected another CPA's letter who reviewed my taxes and drafted his own letter. Any solutions to get this thing resolved?

Thanks!
Brian

I been self employed (or unemployed depending on who you ask) for 7 years.

I've never been asked to do that and never even heard of a "comfort letter".

Then again, I can't get a traditional conforming residential loan either.
