  • The Home Loan Source defines a First Time Home Buyer as a borrower who has no ownership interest (sole or joint) in a residential property during the three-year period preceding the date of the purchase of the subject property.

  • First Time Home Buyer is allowed on some programs with guideline restrictions. First Time Home Buyers Ineligible for DSCR program.

  • A First Time Home Buyer can meet the housing history requirement with a satisfactory (0x30) consecutive 12 month

  • Initial Deposit Review: Using an income worksheet the UW is to document the total deposits from the monthly statement. The UW will review the individual deposits on the statement and itemize deposits that are not allowable (unknown wires, transfers from other accounts, refunds, unusually large deposits). Deposits from other income sources, SSI, W2 earnings are to be backed out and documented with the appropriate documents. Gross rents from any REOs are to be backed out of the deposit totals.

    • From statement to statement the UW can recognize a deposit pattern of regular dollar amounts, frequency and source. From this pattern and the UW knowledge of business type, the threshold for unusual deposit amounts will be apparent. Additional documentation of unusual deposits will be required to be included as business revenue.

    • UW to research deposits/wires that the source is identified to insure the deposit is business revenue. The UW will be able to identify deposits that are from business financing sources and not to be included as revenue.

    • Deposits that are inconsistent in type, size or source are to be noted by UW for further review after several months have been completed. The UW can often determine a deposit as acceptable or not after multiple months of activity for deposits and debits are reviewed.

  • The UW is to review each statement debit activity for the purpose of supporting the business expense factor used to determine qualifying income. Subject to the information provided for each debit, the UW will be able to determine the accuracy of the expense factor.

    • Debits from the account are to be reviewed for consistency with the business type and expense factor applied or provided in the case of a CPA P&L. A business with a 40% expense factor per the P&L will not have 60% of the monthly deposits paid out to 3rd parties over a 12 or 24 months period. The UW will be able to support the expense factor provided or determine the accurate expenses of the business with the review of the debit activity and checks paid.

    • Debits that are known personal liabilities (as per credit report) are not viewed as business operating expenses. Undisclosed liabilities that occur regularly are to be researched to determine if additional documentation is required to categorize the expense as business or personal.

    • Debits that are paid to the same sources that a deposit has been received from must be backed out of the deposit totals.

    • Debits that are reversals or adjustments to a deposit item are to be backed out of the deposit total for that statement period.

  • Review of Checks Paid: All bank statements will itemize checks paid during the statement period. Some statements will also include copies of each check.

    • Statements without copies of checks– With a list of the checks written during the statement period, the information an UW can capture is limited. The approach with checks written from a business account is to treat them as business expenses unless documented as otherwise by a copy of the canceled check.

    • Statements with copies of checks– With the copies of canceled checks the UW will have clarity as to whether the payment is an expense of the business. The payee name, memo line and the endorsement of the check will provide information that can assist the UWs review and assessment of the business expenses.

  • Standard expense factor applies; 50% expense factor.

  • The minimum expense factor with CPA letter or P&L is 20%.

  • When a CPA or tax preparer produced statement is provided, apply the stated expense factor to calculate the qualifying income ( subject to the minimum expense factors). Provide either of the following:

  • A CPA/CTEC/EA produced written statement/letter specifying the actual expense ratio of the business (including cost of goods sold and all other business expenses) based on the most recent year’s filed tax returns; or,

  • A CPA/CTEC/EA produced Profit and Loss (P&L) statement that has been reviewed by the CPA/CTEC/EA, the CPA/CTEC/EA states they have reviewed the P&L in writing, and the P&L and accompanying statement do not have unacceptable disclaimer or exculpatory language regarding its preparation.

  • The minimum expense factor with CPA letter or P&L is 20%.

    • When a CPA or tax preparer produced statement is provided, apply the stated expense factor to

      calculate the qualifying income. Provide either of the following:

      • A CPA/CTEC/EA produced written statement/letter specifying the actual expense ratio of thebusiness (including cost of goods sold and all other business expenses) based on the most recent year’s filed tax returns; or,

    • Net deposits must not reflect any other income sources already taken into consideration (i.e. deduct SS payments, W-2 wage earnings, etc., that have already been used for income calculation).

  • Using bank statements to document qualifying income requires the underwriter to review each set of statements differently according to the type of business and the detail of information contained in the statements.

  • Unlike a paystub, W2 or tax return, bank statements do not contain the same details from one bank to another. All bank statements will contain the same general information such as deposits, debits, balances etc. The information that will vary widely will be the details shown for each debit or deposit source. Some accounts will contain copies of checks written while most will not.

  • The underwriter will have to understand and analyze the following to determine a supportable qualifying income:

  • Research the business type – The UW must have an understanding of the type of business the statements represent and the expected deposits and expenses for the business both in dollar amounts and frequency. The UW must review the address(es) of the business to ensure the location could support the type and size of business reported if applicable.

  • The UW will have to categorize the type of bank statements being reviewed as either combined personal and business or business only. Statements cannot be categorized based solely on the account “name”. Theactivity in the details are to be used to determine the account type.
  • The UW will have to review the individual electronic and check debit activity to determine that the expense ratio being applied is accurate and supported by the statements.
  • When the bank statement debit activity reflects expenses higher than the standard expense ratios (8.7.4 Alt-Doc Option 3: Documentation and Expense Ratios) the UW is to analyze the monthly debits to determine the representative expenses for the business.
  • The UW will have to recognize when the bank statements provided are insufficient to determine a supportable qualifying income. Often additional statements or “other” accounts may be required to provide a complete income picture.
  • These are accounts that are typically used by small business owners for both business and personal use. The account activity will show deposits from business activity as well as all other sources of income ( wages from spouse,second job,SSI,rents, etc.).

  • These are accounts that are used solely for business revenue and expenses. The account will typically show revenue and expense activity for only the business. Occasionally the account could show deposits or liability payments that are not business related.

    • An acceptable business account will reflect business revenue deposits and business expense payments. An account showing deposits and only transfers to other accounts is not sufficient to analyze the business expenses and determine qualifying income.

    • Trust accounts or Client Trust accounts are not acceptable documentation for determining qualifying income. The Operating account for the business must be used to accurately analyze business expenses.
