I’m self-employed—can I qualify without W-2s?

I’m buying a home that needs work. What’s the simplest way to finance renovations?
FHA 203(k) combines purchase and improvements into a single loan with a managed draw process—often easier than juggling separate rehab financing.
Can investors qualify using the property’s income instead of personal tax returns?
Yes—DSCR loans primarily assess the property’s ability to cover debt service, making them a strong fit for Astoria rentals.
Are there streamlined refi options if I already have FHA or VA?
Yes—FHA Streamline and VA IRRRL are designed to simplify documentation for eligible borrowers seeking better terms.
Do you support older homeowners who want to access equity or right-size housing?
