If your buyer was denied by a bank or retail lender, don't lose the deal. As a wholesale mortgage broker, I have access to Non-QM (Non-Qualified Mortgage) lenders that specialize in scenarios conventional underwriting can't handle. Same quality loans, just flexible guidelines.

DSCR — Investor Loans

Most Popular

Qualify based on the property's rental income, not personal income or tax returns. If the rent covers the mortgage, your investor client can qualify — even with 20+ financed properties.

Min Down20–25%
Min Credit660+
Min DSCR1.0x (some 0.80)
Loan Amount$150K–$3M
EntityLLC / Corp OK
Close Time21–30 days

Best for: rental properties, Airbnb, multi-unit, portfolio investors

Bank Statement Loans

Self-Employed

Your buyer is self-employed, shows $60K on tax returns but deposits $15K/month? Bank statement loans use actual deposits instead of tax returns. 12 or 24 months of statements.

Min Down10–20%
Min Credit660+
Self-Employed2+ years
Loan AmountUp to $3M
Statements12 or 24 months
Close Time21–30 days

Best for: business owners, 1099 contractors, freelancers, anyone with heavy write-offs

Asset Depletion

No income needed. Qualify by dividing liquid assets over the loan term to calculate a monthly “income.” Retirees, trust fund recipients, and high-net-worth buyers who don't have traditional paychecks.

Min Down20–25%
Min Credit680+
Income DocsNot required
Assets NeededCover loan term

Best for: retirees, trust beneficiaries, high-net-worth individuals

Assets in Full

Buyer has enough assets to pay cash but prefers to finance and keep liquidity? This program lets them do exactly that — no income documentation required.

Min Down20–25%
Min Credit700+
Assets100% of purchase price
Income DocsNot required

Best for: cash buyers who want to preserve liquidity, stock-heavy portfolios
