FHA Changes rules for Self Employed Borrowers ROUND 2
Documentation Requirements for Self-Employed Borrowers – Effective for all case numbers ordered on or after April 1, 2012.
1. All FHA files for self-employed borrowers require a YTD P&L AND Balance Sheet for every business covering the time from the last files tax return to the end of the most recent quarter – NO EXCEPTIONS
2. Annual earnings that are stable or increasing are acceptable. Earnings reflecting a significant decline in income over the analysis period (25% or more) are not acceptable for use, even if the current income and debt ratios meet FHA guidelines.
