Analysis of Borrower’s Personal Income
Analysis of a self-employed borrower’s personal income, including the business income or loss reported on the borrower's individual income tax returns, is not required when a borrower is qualified using only income that is not derived from self-employment and self-employment is a secondary and separate source of income (or loss). Examples of income not derived from self-employment include salary and retirement income.
