One of the biggest shifts in lending this year has nothing to do with rates — and everything to do with structure.
Smart investors are skipping traditional financing and using DSCR + LLC loans to scale faster, smoother, and with less friction.
What’s the Play?
✅ Use projected or actual Airbnb/short-term rental income
✅ No tax returns, W2s, or DTI calculations
✅ Properties titled in LLCs for asset protection
✅ Fast closings — 21 days or less
✅ No income documentation required
This isn’t a fringe product.These loans are mainstream for real estate investors in 2025.
💡 Real Scenario (South OC Buyer):
$1.2M beach property
Income estimate from AirDNA + past VRBO data
Closed in LLC
DSCR loan, 25% down
No income docs, no employment verification
Buyer has already booked out half the summer and expects to net 10–12% cap rate — all with zero W2 income.
Why Agents Should Know This:
Your buyers who “don’t qualify” under traditional terms?Might qualify easily using this structure.
Great for:
Self-employed investors
Airbnb/VRBO operators
W-2 earners with side income
Clients expanding portfolios without triggering DTI issues
And best of all?They can still refinance into traditional loans later if they want to.
Quick Notes:
Available in all 50 states
No limit to the number of financed properties
Works for mid-term rentals too (30+ day furnished units)
Credit score and LTV are primary risk factors
Bottom Line:
If your buyer has cash and a property with rental potential, they may be just one DSCR loan away from their next investment — no tax returns required.
