Finally some good news for self-employed clients and an important update on the appraisal process for conventional mortgages.  Most self-employed borrowers will find the documentation requirements for a mortgage just got easier as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have eliminated the need for an interim P&L statement for most clients.
