Two ways a lender looks at the same purchase

If you're self-employed or run your own business, you already know the frustration — a bank asks for two years of tax returns, then penalizes you for every deduction you took to lower your tax bill. Meanwhile, the property you actually want to buy is sitting there generating income that never gets factored in.

Denied
Traditional mortgage
  • Two years of tax returns
  • Personal income and debt-to-income ratio
  • W-2s, pay stubs, personal paperwork
  • Self-employed deductions count against you
Approved
DSCR loan
  • Qualifies off the property's rental income
  • Works for LLCs, entities, and trusts
  • In many cases, no personal paycheck required
  • Closing centers on the deal, not your file
no confusion

Straight answers, no confusion

01Do I still need tax returns or a W-2?+
No. The loan qualifies off the property's rental income not your personal paperwork.
02How long does closing usually take?+
Often faster than a conventional mortgage, since there's no personal income file to underwrite.
03Do you personally have lenders you'd recommend?+
Yes. We work with a small group of lenders who understand vacation rentals specifically.
04Is this only for investors with multiple properties?+
Not at all — it's just as often used for a first vacation rental purchase.
