Close your rental in an LLC
DSCR loans commonly close in an entity's name, which is why investors love them: liability separation, no personal income docs, and qualification that's just the property's rent divided by its full payment (PITIA). A ratio of 1.0 covers the payment; 1.25+ earns the best pricing.
Gig income counts — document it right
Uber, DoorDash, Instacart, freelance platforms — lenders aggregate it all as self-employment income. Route payouts into one account, keep your 1099s, and show about two years of history. Bank statement and 1099 loans capture what the apps actually paid you, not what survived your mileage deduction.
Texas's 80% cash-out rule
Texas homestead law caps cash-out refinances on a primary residence at 80% of the home's value — you must keep at least 20% equity. It applies to every loan type, including bank-statement loans, so plan your cash-out around that ceiling.
