* Debt-to-income ratios up to 50% from previous 45% max
* Loan to Value for ARM loans up to 95%
* One year's tax returns required for self-employeds
* Disputes on credit report do not need to be removed
* Timeshares now treated as installment debt vs. mortgage loans
* Student loans in deferment or income based payments accepted as reported on credit report
