This program is ideal for investors looking to lower their interest rate or change their loan term while avoiding tax returns, W-2s, and pay stubs.This program is ideal for buyers who:

Prefer to show no income documentation.
Qualify primarily through property cash flow (DSCR-based).
Refinancing investment properties (1–4 units) for rate and/or term improvement.

Notes DSCR ≥ 1.00: The property makes enough money to fully cover the mortgage payment. This is ideal and qualifies for the best terms. DSCR 0.99–0.75: The property almost covers the payment, but not completely. You can still qualify, but you may need a slightly larger down payment.
