No, distributions are not an additional or secondary source of income for qualifying purposes and cannot be used in the absence of business earnings for qualifying purposes. A documented history of distributions demonstrates that business income has been received by the borrower. When the borrower cannot document a history of distributions consistent with the amount of business income used to qualify, the lender can alternatively confirm the business has adequate liquidity to support the withdrawal of earnings.
