Where did the OP say he wasn't going to claim expenses?

All he is saying is that he may not choose to deduct certain expenses. But I can guarantee he will be claiming those expenses

He said that he is not going to report expenses so his income looks higher to the lender.

A mortgage company is going to lend to a self employed borrower off of AGI and there may be additional deductions they subtract from that. It is a tough situation when it comes to getting a mortgage depending on the amount of business deductions taken.

The mortgage company will require the borrower to sign a form that allows them to pull tax returns. This is to protect them from a borrower that fraudulently produces tax returns to inflate income. If red flags are raised they'll pull the returns as verification.
