Freddie Mac Extends Temporary Verification of Employment, Appraisal and Power of Attorney Flexibilities Due to COVID-19, and Amends Temporary Requirements for Self-Employed Borrowers

Freddie Mac issued Guide Bulletin 2020-44 to extend temporary verification of employment, appraisal and power of attorney flexibilities due to COVID-19, and to amend temporary requirements for borrowers using self-employment income to qualify. The temporary flexibilities have been extended through December 31, 2020. The updated requirements for borrowers using self-employment income to qualify now mandate 3 months of bank statements if using an unaudited profit and loss statement (rather than 2 months). The revision related to self-employment income applies to loans with an application date on or after December 14, 2020 (lenders are, however, encouraged to apply the revision immediately).
