Houston Real Estate and Non-QM Lending
Houston is the fourth-largest city in the US and one of the most economically diverse — oil and gas, healthcare (Texas Medical Center), aerospace, shipping, and a massive international business community all call Houston home. The real estate market offers some of Texas’s best investment returns, with median prices around $320K–$380K and strong rental demand across the metro. Houston’s Non-QM market is driven by oil and gas professionals with variable income, the city’s enormous immigrant business owner community (particularly in Bellaire, the Houston Chinatown on Bellaire Blvd, and Southwest Houston), and an active real estate investor base that takes advantage of strong DSCR ratios in value neighborhoods.

Non-QM Mortgage FAQ — Houston
Can oil and gas workers use variable income to qualify?
Yes. O&G contractors and consultants whose income fluctuates with energy prices are ideal bank statement loan candidates. We average deposits over 12–24 months to establish qualifying income, smoothing out the cyclical nature of energy sector income.
Is Houston a good DSCR investment market?
Yes. Houston’s lower purchase prices combined with strong rental demand from the medical center, universities, and corporate sector produce DSCR ratios that often exceed 1.0 in established rental neighborhoods.
Can Vietnamese or Chinese business owners in Houston qualify?
Absolutely. We have extensive experience with Houston’s Asian business community. Bank statement and P&L loans work well for the cash-intensive businesses common in Bellaire and Southwest Houston. Non-English-speaking applicants are welcome; we work with interpreters as needed.
What Houston neighborhoods and suburbs do you cover?
All of Greater Houston — Inside the Loop, Midtown, Heights, Montrose, Katy, Sugar Land, Missouri City, The Woodlands, Spring, Pearland, Pasadena, Baytown, Conroe, and all communities in Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, and Brazoria counties.
