Three Arizona borrowers banks can't figure out
The Phoenix landlord. Owns four rentals, wants a fifth. Conventional says he's hit his financed-property ceiling. His rentals cash-flow beautifully and his tax returns show paper losses. The bank sees risk; the desert sees a portfolio.
The Scottsdale realtor. Closes $9M a year, writes off everything the IRS allows, and shows taxable income that wouldn't qualify her for a studio. Her deposits tell the truth her 1040 hides.
The Tucson trades owner. Runs a crew of eleven, pays himself last, and wants to buy the shop's neighboring lot plus a home. Try explaining that to an agency underwriter.
Non-QM doesn't ask these three to become someone else. It underwrites who they already are.
The Arizona arsenal
DSCR Investor Loans are the desert's default weapon — the property's rent qualifies the loan, so the landlord above keeps scaling past conventional property caps. Bank Statement Loans take the realtor's 12–24 months of deposits and turn them into qualifying income — No Tax Returns Required. 1099 programs cover the contractor economy. And 40-year terms stretch payments for investors optimizing monthly spread in a market where every dollar of cash flow counts.
Don't sleep on the dirt
Arizona is a land state — desert parcels, ranchettes, future-build lots outside the metros. Banks won't finance dirt; our Vacant Land Loans do: purchase or refinance, up to 65% of value, $100K to $1.2M, unlimited acreage, no prepayment penalty, 12 months' income history. Buy the parcel now, build when you're ready, refinance out with zero penalty.

Deal walkthrough: a Maryvale rental
A buyer finds a 3-bed block home in Maryvale listed at $385K. Rents in the pocket run $2,400. The appraiser's rent schedule confirms it. Down payment: 20% from seasoned savings. Reserves: five months in the bank.
The DSCR file: rent ÷ PITI clears the program's bar, the LLC takes title, and the buyer's personal DTI never enters the conversation. From contract to close in under three weeks — because no employer verification and no IRS transcripts means nothing to wait on. Illustrative walkthrough; exact terms vary by investor and are subject to change.
We lend statewide — Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa, Chandler, Scottsdale, Glendale, Gilbert, Tempe, Peoria, Surprise, Sedona, Flagstaff, and everywhere the desert stretches.
Frequently asked questions
I own several rentals already. Can I keep going in Arizona?
That's the core DSCR use case — each property qualifies on its own rent, so conventional financed-property caps don't apply. Portfolio landlords are our everyday business.
What's the catch with financing vacant land?
The catch is the down payment: land programs top out around 65% of value, so plan on 35%+ down or equivalent equity. The upside is no prepayment penalty and unlimited acreage.
I'm a 1099 contractor in Phoenix. What do you need from me?
Twelve to twenty-four months of deposits showing consistent earnings in your line of work. The cleaner the banking, the smoother the file.
Can I close my Arizona rental in an LLC?
Many of our DSCR programs allow entity vesting — it's how most serious investors hold. We'll confirm the structure for your deal.
