Realtors, are you discussing alternative financing options with your buyers before they start shopping?
Most buyers are familiar with conventional, FHA, and VA loans. But what about the self-employed buyer with substantial cash flow and significant business deductions? Or the investor looking to add another rental property to their portfolio?
These buyers may have options well beyond traditional mortgage programs. Bank statement loans, DSCR financing, and asset-based qualification programs can open up additional possibilities. And in many cases that means greater purchasing power, not simply helping someone who could not qualify through conventional channels.
The recommendation is simple: bring your mortgage advisor into the conversation early, especially when a buyer’s financial situation is more complex than a W-2 and two years of tax returns.
If you have a client who could benefit from a different financing strategy let’s talk.
