GEOGRAPHIC RESTRICTIONS • See Geographic Restrictions Matrix (Form 504) for location-specific geographic restrictions.
DOCUMENTATION • Full/Alt Doc and Reduced Documentation programs available. Reduced Documentation refers to loans
processed with income, employment and asset documentation which is more relaxed than traditional

Documentation type are outlined below.
• Full/Alt Documentation may be required if:
• The initial application is incomplete or missing from the submission package.
• Loan request is not commensurate with the borrower’s credit profile.
• Property is unique or otherwise has limited marketability.
• File contains documentation which suggests borrower’s income is not accurately stated on the
signed 1003 (i.e., bank statements showing payroll direct deposits with a deposit amount
significantly lower than that reported on the signed 1003).
• Files that do not have valid or usable credit scores.
• When applicable, income sources will be closely reviewed for reasonableness. If reasonableness cannot
be determined, underwriting reserves the right to require documentation to support the reasonableness
(i.e., underwriting may request: recent account statement to support assets available after closing to
generate stated interest income, evidence an income-generating property is owned free and clear, etc.).
Full/Alt Doc • Standard FNMA full or alternative documentation may be provided. Additional information can be found
in Underwriting Guidelines.
• Assets must be verified for reserves, closing costs, required down payment.
• IRS 4506 is required when tax returns are used to verify income.
• Verbal VOE required 5 days prior to closing for wage-earner income sources.
• Income, employment and assets are stated and verified.
• Liabilities are itemized and real estate owned stated.
Stated Doc • Income/Employment:
• Employment must be disclosed on the signed 1003 covering a two-year period.
• All income sources must be itemized on the signed 1003.
• Verification of income is not required.
• Income must be reasonable for employment disclosed.
• 5 days prior to closing: Verbal VOE required or if self-employed, an independent written
confirmation of self-employment is required (i.e., copy of business license, letter from CPA verifying
length and existence of business, etc.). Two continuous years of self-employment in same business
are expected.
• IRS 4506 is not required.
• Liabilities are itemized – properties owned are stated.
• Assets must be verified for reserves, closing costs and required down payment.
• Ratios are calculated based on stated income.
No Ratio • Income/Employment:
• Income amount should not be disclosed.
• Income source must be identified on the signed 1003.
• Employment must be disclosed on the signed 1003 covering a 2-year period.
• Income amount is not verified.
• Income source must be one which would reasonably support the ability to repay the mortgage debt.
• 5 days prior to closing: Verbal VOE required or if self-employed, an independent written confirmation
of self-employment is required (i.e., copy of business license, letter from CPA verifying length and
existence of business, etc.). Two continuous years of self-employment in same business are
expected.
• IRS 4506 is not required.
• Liabilities are itemized – properties owned are stated.
• Assets must be verified for reserves, closing costs and required down payment.

Negative Cash Flow
(For seasoning
requirements refer to
LTV/CLTV/HCLTV
calculations below.)
The following policies apply to Mortgage Maker only:
• Properties with negative cash are closely reviewed to ensure an overall acceptable risk.
• Cash flow for all N/O/O dwellings and O/O 3-4 unit dwellings is calculated as follows:
• Purchase transactions:
• Negative cash flow is the monthly rent minus expenses as evidenced by the FNMA 216 Form. If
expenses are outlined on Form 216 and deemed reasonable by UW due to net rent figure, do not
apply a standard 25% maintenance and vacancy factor. If unreasonable, use 25% maintenance
and vacancy factor.
• Refinance transactions:
• For properties that have been owned >12 months and where income is documented via tax
returns, cash flow will be based off of Schedule E.
• If property has not been owned for a full tax year or if income has not been documented via tax
returns, follow purchase transaction guidelines for the subject property.
• For O/O properties, the negative cash flow for purposes of the criteria listed below is calculated
assuming all units will be rentals. For DTI calculations, use only the negative cash flow or positive
cash flow associated with the actual rental units.
• If the N/O/O property or 3-4 unit O/O subject property is generating a negative cash flow, the following
restrictions apply:
• Full Doc: Eligible for maximum financing.
• Stated Doc and No Ratio:
• With at least 12 months PITI reserves, maximum financing is available. If less than 12 months PITI
reserves, financing is limited to the lesser of LTV permitted in matrix or 95% LTV/CLTV/HCLTV.
• Stated Income/Stated Assets and No Doc:
• Rate/Term and Expanded Rate/Term only (purchase, Debt Consolidation and Cash Out are not
allowed).
• Lesser of LTV permitted in matrix or 95% LTV/CLTV/HCLTV.
• Minimum 12-month history must be verified; see Credit topic, Underwriting Guidelines and Form 520
for additional information.
• Minimum ownership seasoning of 12 months.
• Housing payment must be decreasing.
