Income Requirements

Establish that income is:

? Steady, Stable or increasing. ? Likely to continue into the future ? Must be able to document the income as per investor guidelines (Are they

reporting it on their tax returns??) ? Income from other Non-Employed Sources such as Child Support, Interest

Income or Retirement income might be considered qualifying income but have different qualifying guidelines ? Policies change often, always verify requirements for uncommon or seldom used income types

Use Of Declining Income Is One Of The Most Common Calculation Errors

Income Document Requirements

Documentation Requirements

? Manual Underwrite: Typically requires two year history to be received and documented

? Automated underwriting (Loan Product AdvisorSM f/k/a Loan Prospector ? or Desktop Underwriter?):

? Typically follow the findings report or feedback certificate ? Often documentation is reduced from a manual underwrite

? Additional documentation is always required to clarify a question, inconsistency or continuance of an income source

? Conservative income calculations are preferred ? When MI is needed, always verify MI guideline requirements as well

Documentation Overlays May Exist; Always Check Investor Credit Policy For Additional Requirements
