We lend on the verified lease income and cash flow of your rental properties — not your personal income. No tax returns, no W-2s, no personal income verification required. If you have re-established credit and a preferred minimum 650 FICO score, our stated investor program can get you financed.

What Is a Stated Income Investor Loan?

A stated income investor loan qualifies borrowers on verified lease income and property cash flow instead of personal tax returns or W-2s. It's designed for self-employed investors and LLC owners with a preferred minimum 650 FICO who own rental properties generating consistent income. No personal income documentation is required.

A stated income investor loan is a financing program where lenders qualify borrowers based on the rental income and cash flow of investment properties rather than personal tax returns or W-2 income. This makes it an ideal solution for self-employed investors, LLC owners, and professional real estate operators who may not show traditional income documentation.

With tighter lending standards at conventional banks, many experienced investors can't qualify through Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or traditional bank channels -- even when they own profitable rental portfolios. Fannie Mae guidelines cap most investors at 10 financed properties, and typical investment property down payments run 20-25% with full income documentation required. Our stated income program bridges that gap with competitive pricing and flexible underwriting based on property performance.

Who Qualifies for Stated Income Investor Financing?

Investors with a preferred minimum 650 FICO score, re-established credit, and rental properties producing verifiable lease income. No tax returns or W-2s needed. Past bankruptcy is OK with a 2-year discharge. The program covers single family 1-4 units, condos, townhomes, and multifamily apartments nationwide.

Stated income loans are designed for investors and professional real estate operators who want to capitalize on competitive rates and rising property valuations. Whether you are looking to refinance existing debt or purchase new residential investment properties, this program works for borrowers who may not fit the traditional lending mold.

Why Choose Stated Income Over Traditional Bank Financing?

Banks and conventional lenders require extensive personal income documentation, cap the number of financed properties, and reject investors with complex tax situations — even profitable ones. Stated income loans skip all of that. Qualification is based on property cash flow, closings are faster, and each transaction is individually priced at competitive rates.

Many loan programs from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and local or national banks have become very restrictive for lending on residential rental investment property. With Dodd-Frank regulations, many banks have exited the investor lending market entirely, leaving property owners unable to qualify for traditional loans even when they hold profitable rental portfolios.

Our stated income program fills that gap. We focus on what matters most — whether the property generates enough cash flow to support the loan — rather than requiring extensive personal financial documentation that can delay or prevent approval.

Qualify on rental income, not personal tax returns — the way investor lending should work.

What Property Types Are Eligible for Stated Income Financing?

Our stated income program covers single family homes (1-4 units), condos, townhomes, and multifamily apartment buildings nationwide. Both purchase and refinance transactions are available, including cash-out refinances. The national rental vacancy rate is approximately 6.6% according to U.S. Census Bureau data, and our program works for both occupied and vacant properties.

How Does the Stated Income Application Process Work?

Submit an online application with basic property details (no tax returns or W-2s needed), we verify lease income and cash flow on the rental properties, and once approved we move to close. Stated income loans close significantly faster than the 30-45 day average for conventional investment property loans because there's no personal income verification to process.

Where Are Stated Income Investor Loans Available?

We offer stated income mortgage loans across most U.S. states, covering the Central, Northern, Pacific, Southern, and Western regions. The FHFA House Price Index shows average annual home price appreciation of 4-5% nationally, which supports strong equity growth for rental investors using our stated income programs.
