No-Income Loans in California

A no-income loan qualifies without any income documentation — no tax returns, pay stubs, W-2s or employment verification. Approval rests on assets, the property's rental income, or both. For consumer owner-occupied property, ability-to-repay rules still apply and are satisfied through assets. Pure no-ratio programs are generally business-purpose investment loans.
