A self-employed business owner wanted to add an Irvine rental property to her portfolio, but her tax returns — full of legitimate write-offs — made her income look far smaller than reality. GMCC’s self-employed programs qualified the property on its own cash flow instead.
The Problem
Rather than W-2s or tax returns, we used a DSCR structure: the rental income of the property itself covered the proposed payment, so her personal income documentation never became the bottleneck.
Our Approach
Bank statements verified her reserves, and GMCC’s in-house underwriting turned the file around quickly — critical for keeping the investment property under contract.
What Others Offered
Strong business, healthy cash flow — but tax returns that disqualified her at conventional lenders focused only on adjusted gross income.
What We Delivered
A DSCR loan approved on the property's rental income alone — no W-2s, no tax returns — closed in time to keep her Irvine investment under contract.
