Questions brokers ask.

How should I check the income limit?

Compare qualifying annual income to 80% of the area median income for the property’s location. Review the eligibility tool and LPA findings for the specific loan.

Do reserves differ for multi-unit properties?

The guide calls for two months of PITIA on two- to four-unit properties, subject to LPA findings. Required reserves must meet the source-of-funds rules.
