How this page is built

Lower minimum credit score, minimum DSCR and minimum loan count as more flexible; so do higher max LTVs and max loan, a published “Yes” on DSCR below 1.0, no-ratio and first-time investors, an STR income method that accepts projections where 1st Nationwide Mortgage counts booking history only, and a state list that includes all of 1st Nationwide Mortgage's states plus more. Projection and Either both accept projections, so they count as the same. Referral sources are left out.
