Don't Miss Part 2! This program is the first of two in a series. Watch for "Understanding Borrowers' Tax Returns, Part 2: Income from Rentals, Royalties, Partnerships, S Corps & Farms" on Tuesday, March 13, 2012.

Focus:
It’s a tough lending environment.  Understanding the true cash flow of borrowers is as important today as it has ever been.  This webinar will help take the mystery out of borrowers’ personal income tax returns.  No more guessing how much income your borrower is really earning.  Learn how to identify actual cash flow quickly and reliably.

Usually cash flow and taxable income are different.  You can’t afford to rely on any income that is not actually being received.  Nor can you afford to deny loans to borrowers who earn more than their tax returns show.  Overestimating the income from a tax return can lead you to approve a weak loan that could eventually cost you tens of thousands of dollars.  Underestimating income on a tax return can lead you to deny good loans that you need in this tough market.  This session will make the process of analyzing personal income tax returns simple and understandable.
