New Rules - FHA Changes rules for Self Employed borrowers ROUND 2
Many of my clients are self employed and get very frustrated with all the lending rules. Understandable because self employed borrowers tend to manage funds and credit and aren't used to having to explain every minute detail to a lender as their good credit and assets were there ticket to credit in the past. In 2012 not so anymore, SEB's need to be more thorough and diligent in the level of deductions, income claimed and expenses spent. So make sure you get in touch with your lender before you even get into you agents cars - if you don't you may be sorely dissappointed.

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.
