If they deny you from that, it's like saying self-employment income doesn't qualify.

Jeff,Can you share you experience with these Freddie loans when it comes to self employed borrowers?

@Jagdish Bajaj  I think it is also worth noting that not all of the faculty, staff, students, administrators, etc. of the Schools and Hospitals in University Circle live or want to live within a 5 mile radius of their respective employer.  

With no down payment and being self-employed, I believe this is a way to get into the industry.   

When she goes back to work, we will pay off the loans asap.I keep working as a self employed consultant so I can select jobs that allow a balance with family life.

We're happy with our financials and our fields, but we're self-employed.

All very competitively priced to market rates.Beyond that, there are lenders offering programs based on your cash flow into your bank account for people who are self-employed but cannot really document a couple years of it.

Hey Everyone...So we've jumped into the cash-flow rental REI side of things and now are wondering about our employer based plans.  

I've heard Quickbooks is a great way to keep track of business expenses and reports if you are self employed or running a small business. 

Plain and simple.Tenants have rights, applicants do not (aside from the housing police regulations)If your first applicant is unemployed or does not have a consistent two year employment with the same employer (which he does not) he does not qualify and should be rejected without further consideration.
