πŸ’‘ **Real Client Win: When a Renovation Almost Hit a Wall*

Our borrower wanted to **pull cash from their primary home** to **renovate their second**, but with multiple businesses and complex tax returns, their DTI looked too high for traditional lending.

Instead of turning them away, we structured a **Non-QM Closed-End Second** using a **1-year Profit & Loss statement** β€” no full tax return analysis needed.

πŸ“Š 738 FICO | 81% CLTV | $225K Loan | DTI reduced to 49%

βœ… They kept their low first mortgage rate

βœ… Got the cash to complete their renovation

βœ… And avoided a full refinance altogether

When the traditional route says *no*, creative lending says *let’s make it work.*
