Who We Are

Built by a Broker Who’s Seen 35 Years of Markets

Abo Capital was founded on a simple frustration: traditional banks reject perfectly qualified borrowers because they don’t fit the W-2 mold. We built a brokerage that fixes that.

We specialize in Non-QM lending — programs designed for self-employed borrowers, real estate investors, and short-term rental owners. Where banks see a credit risk, we see a successful business owner who earns on their own terms.

Strategic Wins: Real Deals, Real Borrowers

Banks said no — we said yes.

Self-Employed / Bank Statement

The Win: Qualified using 24 months of bank deposits. Closed a $1.3M condo in Los Angeles — no tax returns.

Retiree / Asset Depletion

Assets as Income

The Win: Used Asset Depletion — converting a $3M investment portfolio into qualifying monthly income.

Investor / Fix & Flip

Future Value Qualification

The Challenge: A spec builder acquired a distressed $2.1M property but didn’t fit traditional construction guidelines.

The Win: Secured a bridge loan based on projected ARV. Project broke ground immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bank Statement Loans

How do I qualify using bank statements?

12 or 24 months of personal or business bank statements replace tax returns. Ideal if you’re self-employed with significant write-offs.

What’s the minimum credit score?

Most programs start at 620. Higher scores unlock better rates and lower down payment requirements.

Can I use personal statements instead of business?

Yes. Business statements typically apply an expense ratio. Personal statements are simpler — deposits equal income.

DSCR & Investment Loans

What is a DSCR loan?

Qualifies based on the property’s rental income vs. the mortgage payment. Your personal income is not required. A 1.0x ratio means rent covers the mortgage.

Can Airbnb income qualify for a DSCR loan?

Yes. We use AirDNA market projections or existing booking history. One of the few programs built for short-term rental investors.

How fast can a hard money loan close?

Typically 7–14 days on qualified properties. We work directly with private lenders who move fast on time-sensitive acquisitions.

Stop Getting Told ‘No’ by Banks.

If you’re self-employed, an investor, or running short-term rentals — you deserve a broker who knows how to get your deal done.
