Buy or refinance with no tax returns, no W-2s, and no income documentation.
“No-doc” doesn’t mean no questions — it means you skip the part that trips up self-employed borrowers, investors, and retirees: proving personal income through tax returns. Instead, Abo Capital qualifies you on something else you can verify — a property’s cash flow, your liquid assets, or a single form.

What “no-doc” really means today
True stated-income lending ended after 2008. What replaced it is better: a set of programs that each remove the income hurdle in a different, fully documented way. Pick the one that matches how you’re actually positioned, and you can close without a single tax return.
Your no-income-verification options
- No-ratio DSCR loans (for investors) — qualify on the property, with no income and no minimum DSCR. Up to 85% of value, loan amounts to $3,000,000+, credit from the low-600s, short-term-rental income eligible, first-time investors accepted.
- Asset depletion (for homeowners) — qualify on liquid assets alone, with no employment or income calculation. Up to ~80% of value, loan amounts to $3,000,000+. Built for retirees and high-net-worth borrowers.
- Bank statement loans (for the self-employed) — 12 or 24 months of deposits in place of tax returns. Up to 90% of value.
- WVOE loans (for W-2 earners) — a single written verification of employment instead of pay stubs and returns.
Every figure above is a program maximum, not a guarantee — your actual terms depend on credit, the property, and which program fits your file. We’ll quote real numbers once we see it.

Frequently asked questions
What is a no-doc loan?
A no-doc loan lets you qualify for a mortgage without tax returns, W-2s, or traditional income documentation. Instead of verifying income, these programs qualify you on the property’s cash flow, your liquid assets, or a single employment verification.
Can I get a mortgage with no income verification?
Yes. No-income-verification options include asset-based loans, which qualify you on liquid assets, and no-ratio DSCR loans for investors, which qualify on the property itself. Neither requires you to document personal income.
Do stated income loans still exist?
Not in their pre-2008 form. Today’s programs don’t let you simply state an income — instead, you qualify on something verifiable other than tax returns: assets, rental cash flow, bank deposits, or a written verification of employment.
What is a no-ratio DSCR loan?
A no-ratio DSCR loan is an investor program with no minimum debt-service-coverage ratio and no personal income requirement. You qualify on the property, with financing up to 85% of value and loan amounts to $3,000,000 or more on qualifying files.
Can I get a no-doc loan to buy a rental property?
Yes. No-ratio DSCR loans are built for exactly that — buy or refinance a 1–4 unit rental with no income documentation, short-term-rental income eligible, and first-time investors accepted. Title can be held in an LLC.
