Investor Loan Review
DSCR and Non-QM are different tools for files that do not fit a simple agency box. The right path depends on the property income, borrower income story, reserves, occupancy, title strategy, insurance, and exit plan.

An investor rental, short-term rental, self-employed borrower, 1099 earner, ITIN borrower, asset-depletion file, bank-statement file, or jumbo exception should not all be handled the same way. The first fork is whether the loan is being supported by property income, borrower income, assets, or a documented exception.
Rent, market rent, lease status, vacancy, taxes, insurance, HOA dues, repairs, property condition, title plan, entity ownership, and exit strategy can matter as much as rate. Condo, condotel, coastal, and short-term-rental rules should be checked before the buyer assumes the rent number solves the file.
Deposits, transfers, business accounts, personal accounts, expense factor, declining revenue, P&L support, CPA context, and debts all matter. A strong Non-QM review separates real usable income from noise so the borrower does not chase a program that will not close.
Some files need ITIN review, asset depletion, foreign-national context, reserves, large deposits, or nontraditional documentation. The page should route the borrower to the right proof list without making a promise that every file is eligible.
Send the property address, rent or projected rent, purchase price or value, occupancy plan, entity/title plan, reserve estimate, income type, bank statements or 1099 context, credit snapshot, insurance/HOA concerns, and exit plan. The goal is to match the file to a realistic lender lane before the offer or refinance decision.
Educational review only. Not a loan approval, rate quote, or commitment to lend. Final approval depends on borrower, property, program, pricing, and underwriting review.
Compare rent, taxes, insurance, dues, reserves, loan terms, and the exit plan before choosing an investor product.
Use the calculator that matches the decision in front of you, then send Matt the actual property, payment, and timing before relying on the estimate.
Use the guide or calculator that matches the property's income, cash-flow, term, or market question.
Send the address, price, expected rent, taxes, insurance, dues, available cash, timeline, and intended exit plan.
Use supportable rent, taxes, insurance, HOA dues, management, maintenance, vacancy, utilities paid by the owner, repairs, reserves, financing costs, and the exit plan.
Yes when both may fit. Compare qualification, rate and points, down payment, reserves, documentation, prepayment terms, property eligibility, and exit strategy.
No. Market tools can support research, but lender-required rent evidence, appraisal analysis, property rules, and local operating restrictions still control.
Send the property, price, rent and source, complete expenses, down payment, reserves, renovation needs, occupancy strategy, timeline, and exit plan.
