If you choose a Fannie Mae lender then the requirement for self employed is 6 months into the prior tax year and Freddie mac is one day. The problem occurs is that a self employed person often shows income less than minimum wage which does not allow them to qualify for much of a mortgage.

If you show strong adjusted gross income, high credit scores, and have money for at least 5 percent down, then a Fannie Mae loan would be the best chance. Under the new Fannie Mae system, the risk factor has improved to be the same as a w-2 borrower.

Because not all lenders accept the fannie Mae approval, I would consider calling Flagstar Bank.
