Good Morning - We can use Foreign Income if you meet all the conforming guidelines. Here is what we need to document Foreign Income.?Copies of the borrower's signed federal income tax returns for the most recent 2 years that include foreign income.?Standard documentation requirements, based on the source and type of income must be met.?Income paid in foreign currency must be converted into U.S. currency.Let me know if I can answer any other questions you may have. I would love to help you.~ Jessika

If your foreign income is claimed on your US filed federal tax returns for the past 2 years, then yes, you can use that income for qualifying purposes.. Other rules apply, so it's best to contact a local mortgage broker and let him look at your complete loan scenario.. only then will you know if you qualify..
