What is the minimum credit score for a No-Doc HELOC?
At Truss, we generally look for a 660 FICO score or higher. However, for borrowers with significant equity (lower LTV), we can often find flexible solutions for scores in the mid-600s.
Can I use a HELOC to buy more investment property?
Absolutely. This is the #1 use case for our clients. By using a No-Tax Return HELOC, you can use your existing equity as a "down payment fund" to grow your real estate portfolio without liquidating other assets.
Do you offer No-Tax Return for LLCs?
Yes. We are one of the few brokers that work with a wide range of national lenders that allow you to take out a HELOC on a property title held in an LLC or a Trust, providing you with the liability protection you need.
What are the current rates for Bank Statement HELOCs?
Rates for alternative documentation loans are slightly higher than traditional "full-doc" loans to account for the flexibility. However, for the self-employed, the tax savings of your write-offs usually far outweigh the minor difference in interest rate.
Is it possible to get a home loan without ITR (Income Tax Returns)?
Yes, it is entirely possible to secure a home loan without providing traditional Income Tax Returns (ITR) when you work with a specialized "No-Doc" lender like Truss Financial Group. While traditional retail banks mandate two years of W2s and tax filings, our No Tax Return HELOC program allows you to bypass the 1040 requirement entirely. We focus on your Actual Cash Flow through your bank statements or the rental income generated by your properties (DSCR), ensuring that your high tax write-offs no longer stand in the way of your funding goals. Whether you are a self-employed entrepreneur or a 1099 contractor, we offer a direct path to liquidity without the need for the invasive IRS Form 4506-C.
Does a HELOC hurt your taxes?
A HELOC is designed to be a flexible financial asset, and at Truss Financial Group, we ensure it does not interfere with your existing tax strategies. Traditional lenders often let your tax deductions "hurt" your ability to borrow, but our No-Doc HELOC ignores those write-offs and recognizes the true strength of your business income. This empowers you to maintain your aggressive tax planning while still accessing up to $3,000,000 in equity for property renovations, business scaling, or new investments. While we recommend consulting a tax professional regarding specific interest deductibility, our goal is to provide fast, flexible capital that rewards your business success rather than penalizing your tax efficiency.
