Questions brokers ask.

Does every income method allow the same leverage?

No. P&L, WVOE and asset-utilization paths have separate leverage and credit requirements. Choose the documentation method before using a matrix row.

What should I check before using business statements?

Confirm the borrower’s ownership, the statement period and the treatment of transfers and business expenses. Qualifying income is not the same as total deposits.
