No W-2. No Tax Returns.
A DSCR loan in Trenton qualifies on the property's rent rather than your W-2 or tax returns — business-purpose financing for non-owner-occupied rentals, available to LLCs as standard. What makes Trenton its own underwriting problem: New Jersey is judicial with one of the slowest foreclosure timelines in the country, and property taxes are the highest in the nation — the line that decides most DSCR calculations here. That is exactly the kind of variable that one lender's credit box handles badly and thirty handle well, which is how LendingStreet places the file.
