ITIN loans: no Social Security number required
Taxpayers who file with an IRS-issued ITIN can buy a home through ITIN mortgage programs — typically 10-20% down, two years of work history, and credit shown by score or alternative trade lines like rent and utilities. Self-employed ITIN borrowers can often qualify with bank statements.
DSCR loans for real estate investors
Buying a rental? A DSCR loan qualifies you on the property's cash flow instead of your personal income — no tax returns, no pay stubs. With interest-only options and entity (LLC) eligibility, it's the go-to for investors growing a portfolio.
Realtors: qualify on your commissions
Agents deduct heavily — mileage, marketing, MLS dues, splits — so the net income a conventional lender sees rarely reflects real earnings. Bank statement loans count your commission deposits, and 1099 loans count 90-100% of your gross 1099 — two clean paths to the home you've been selling everyone else.
