“Seasoned Funds” Revisited; Looking for Seasoned Funds

By Jay Voorhees

February 26, 2014 1 min read

    We defined and addressed “Seasoned Funds” in Monday’s comments, and our trainer astutely pointed out that we missed a couple of significant sources for “Seasoned Funds.” This is especially important during tax season. This is also important b/c some loans (Investment property loans for example) allow for no gift money.

    Below is a list of Seasoned Funds sources.

    1. Income Tax Refunds

    2. Security Deposit Refunds (to former renters)

    3. Earned salary income

    4. Bonus income (provides for much flexibility)

    5. Contract/Invoice income for self-employed borrowers

    6. Home Equity Line of Credit funds
