AIM for Income Evolves with Tax Transcripts

Single-Family Seller/Servicer Guide (Guide) Bulletin 2023-16 announced that AIM for income is expanding to include tax transcripts in the income assessment for borrowers who report income on IRS Form Schedule C. You’ll be able to focus on more borrowers and easily serve a subset of borrowers who are typically more complex to underwrite.
