No W-2, Looking for Loan Options
I'm an American living and working overseas. My job has steady income, but no W2s and no pay stubs. I recently bought my first investment property with a conventional loan, but the lack of W2s and living overseas made it a bigger hassle. Are there any simpler loan options I should research as I start thinking about our next property?

Do you own your primary residence overseas or have you owned a primary residence prior to going abroad? That might be the biggest hurdle - but otherwise, I'd check out "DSCR Loans" which are the perfect option for people like you looking to buy rental properties w/o W2 or DTI
