6/22/23 – Can you use income from an ADU? I had a deal come across my desk yesterday that was in escrow for 21 days, and the lender could not get the buyer qualified. The Agent called me thinking we could use ADU income, and she was right! The other lender swore up and down that they could not use the income from the ADU rented at $2800.00 per month, and guess what? HE WAS WRONG!!! We can use ADU income when sending the loan to Freddie Mac, not Fannie Mae. There are some rules like, it can’t be more than 30% of the total income to qualify, but it can be used! In this case, it was the difference between a BOM and a COE! I want to congratulate the Agent for not giving up and calling me! By the way, FHA also uses income from an ADU to help you qualify with some restrictions. Real Estate Roadmap is next Thursday and 6/29 at 9:30-10 AM meet and greet, and the show starts at 10 AM. We are holding it at Valencia Country Club, and I am interviewing two top agents, Holly Thompson, and Tami Cicerello. Both are doing very well in a challenging market. Please let me know if you would like to attend. It should be fun and informative. Interest rates got hammered today, and it will be choppy for the next few months while we figure out a direction. The direction we are hoping for is down, but who knows what will happen. In the meantime, prices are still rising.
