Non-warrantable condos: when the building is the problem
Sometimes you qualify and the condo doesn't, too many rentals in the project, pending litigation, one owner holding too many units. Conventional lenders walk away; non-QM lenders underwrite the building on its merits. If a condo deal died over 'warrantability,' there's usually still a loan for it.
How much you'll put down
Most bank-statement programs start around 10% down, with better pricing at 15-20%+. If your credit or deposit history is on the lighter side, a larger down payment is often the lever that gets you approved.
Denied? The documentation was wrong, not the income
Most self-employed denials trace to one cause: the underwriter used post-write-off taxable income. The same file re-documented with 12-24 months of deposits, gross 1099s, or a CPA-prepared P&L often approves. Bring your denial letter, it tells the next loan officer exactly what to solve.
