Kayla Weigel How Do I Finance My Third House WITHOUT W2 Income?
21 March 2024 | 16 replies
One property is a condo (in CA) that I rent out, and the other property is a house (in NV) that I live in and rent out the other rooms.I quit my W2 job last year to start a business, which is slightly profitable today, but I reinvest everything back into the business.I have a bunch of cash saved up and am comfortable deploying $100K into another property in Las Vegas ($80K down payment + $10K furnishing + $10K margin).The only problem is that I’m not sure how to finance my next house without W2 income.I talked to a few lenders about DSCR loans, and most say they calculate rental income based on the entire house, instead of by the room.I would love to get the creative knowledge of the BP community on how to fund my next home 🙏🏼I'm also open to any lender referrals 😊 Yes - you should check out DSCR Loans, please see a full 10-part series list of resources below that should help!

Overall I like the program but agree people have too high of expectations and think it's a magical tool that solves every problem.My favorite is when the annual inspection comes through with such detailed line items like "fix door".Literally doesn't tell you what needs to be fixed, what door, etc.
