Tax returns are almost written in a secret code. This program and the accompanying software are the ‘magic’ code breakers you need.

Determining actual cash flow from a personal income tax return is critical for a lender because borrowers don’t repay debt with taxable income; they use cash flow. Learn to accurately interpret personal tax returns and identify reliable, recurring income.

WEBINAR HIGHLIGHTS:

General: Identify recurring incomes as cash flow… and learn to ignore the rest
Schedule B: Determine qualifying cash flows from interest-earning investments, dividend-producing investments, etc.
Schedule B: Identify and ignore phantom incomes that pass through as interest or dividends
Schedule C: Find hidden incomes and become aware of a hidden expense in sole proprietorships

WEBINAR DETAILS

Tax returns don’t show cash flow; they show taxable income. What you need to know is cash flow because that is how your loan is paid back. With the process outlined in this session and the free Lenders Tax Analyzer© software each registrant receives, you will gain an easy, reliable method to convert a borrower’s personal tax return (Form 1040) into a borrower’s cash flow statement.

This is Part 1 of a two-part series. In Part 1, you will learn to cash flow the front page of Form 1040, Schedule B (interest and dividend incomes) and Schedule C (sole proprietorship incomes). When you finish this session, you will be able do a little ‘magic’ and convert taxable incomes into cash flows that you can plug into your credit scoring model, your debt-to-income ratio, or your disposable income calculation. (Note: This session is designed for consumer and commercial lenders. This method does not follow Fannie, Freddie, or QM rules used in mortgage lending.)
