Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 2025–2030 a particularly good time for self-employed carpenters to buy real estate?
AI data center capital commitments from Microsoft, Google, Meta, Amazon, and OpenAI represent trillions in locked-in construction spending through 2028 and beyond. Markets where data center construction is concentrated are experiencing employment growth, population influx, and rental demand increases that support property appreciation. Self-employed carpenters working these markets have both strong income and strong appreciation prospects.
How does a bank statement loan work for a carpenter with 28 years of experience?
Length of self-employment history strengthens a Non-QM application. A 28-year carpenter with consistent deposit history, strong credit, and documented income is among the strongest bank statement borrower profiles. Income is qualified from 12 or 24 months of deposits rather than tax returns.
Can a self-employed carpenter invest in rental property near data center markets?
Yes. A DSCR loan qualifies a rental property on its own rental income — no personal income documentation required. A carpenter who cannot qualify for a conventional investment loan due to write-off-heavy taxes can still build a rental portfolio through DSCR programs in the data center markets they work in.
