Bank statement loans, on the other hand, are based on the borrower's bank statements and are ideal for self-employed individuals. Nate explains the underwriting process for short-term rentals and the different ratios used to qualify for DSCR loans. He also discusses the current market trends and the availability of these loan products.For listeners seeking more information or wishing to schedule a call, they can visit Nate's website at retail.thelender.com.
