New Freddie Mac Update: A Win For Your Self‑Employed Buyers
If you work with self-employed buyers, a recent Freddie Mac guideline change could help you turn more “borderline” scenarios into approvals. The old challenge with self‑employed clients Under the prior Freddie Mac approach, when a buyer had less than two years of self-employment, their qualifying income was often capped at what they earned on their previous W‑2 job.
