Business Loss To Be Analyzed Or Weighed Against The Borrower

Did You know that Freddie Mac DOES NOT always require a business loss to be analyzed or weighed against the Borrower?

When a Borrower has a primary income source ( non self employment salary) and a business loss from a self employment business that income or loss does not require any further documentation or review.

Example: Borrower is a firefighter but has a home inspection business on the side and shows a loss, the loss does not need to be looked into any further.

When a Borrower DOES NOT have another primary source of income other then self employment then any type of income or loss requires further review and documentation ( i.e. personal and business tax returns, etc)

The standard methods of confirming a business are not available?? Freddie accepts at least one month of business bank statements to confirm the existence of the business.
