How To Use Foster Care Income To Get A Mortgage…

small brett pic How To Use Foster Care Income To Get A Mortgage...
If you receive money from the State or a County sponsored organization for providing foster care for children you can use this money as income to get a mortgage.
Foster care income is considered acceptable stable income as long as the borrower has a 2 year history of providing foster care services.
To prove this income we would need…
• Letters from the organizations providing the income.
• Copies of the borrower’s signed federal income tax returns that were filed with the IRS, or
• Copies of the borrower’s deposit slips or bank statements that confirm the regular deposit of the payments.
That’s it for today!
Have a good day today! …and thanks for reading.
