@Nick Belsky

This is incredibly detailed information you are providing. Thank you for that!

I will admit that I will need to look further into bank statement loans to truly grasp the concept.

One thing to note is that my wife’s pay is a steady paycheck every month. She works for a company outside of the US, which to the IRS is considered the same as self-employed, from my understanding. With that being said, are there plenty of lenders out there that would accept her full salary under this type of loan? I’m having difficulty understanding what/how they deduct from that income.

Thank you!

@Patrick Drury

Could you explain a little more on the DSCR program?

Thanks!

Wow. So that significantly reduces your purchasing power. That’s unfortunate to hear.

Thank you for the info, though.

@Allen Collins

Wow. Interesting!

So they factored in your write offs and basically that reduced what your qualifying income is?

Hopefully I’m understanding that correctly.

Interesting.

I’ve never really heard of a bank statement loan.

When you say 50% of the bank statement, what do you mean?

Could you elaborate further, please?

Thanks!

@Kevin Woodard

Thank you for the support!

We are looking a buy & hold. My goal is to purchase the property, live in it for a year or so, then rent it out.

@Dustin Rosenberg

We are able to prove consistent income for my wife, but not myself of course.

We have plenty of money saved up that can easily afford a down payment.

Do most conventional lenders do this type of loan?

Good afternoon!

I just recently separated from the military and my wife and I will be moving to Washington, D.C.

I will be starting a business and my wife makes self employment income as well. Obviously this does not look good to a conventional lender, so I am looking for any advice on how to get home loans for properties. Any advice helps!

Thank you!
