The Tax Return Trap: Accountants are great at saving you money on taxes. The downside? They make your income look tiny on paper. Traditional lenders don’t care about your lifestyle, your deposits, or your real cash flow. They just see a bottom line — and if it’s low, you’re out of luck.
The W-2 Box: If you’re self-employed, a freelancer, or a business owner, your income doesn’t fit neatly into the little W-2 box lenders want. That means endless explanations, confusing spreadsheets, and usually… rejection.
The Deductions Dilemma: Write-offs lower your tax bill, but they also make your income look even smaller. On paper, it looks like you can’t afford the home you know you can. The more deductions, the harder the loan approval.
The “Computer Says No” Culture: Conventional lenders live by rigid guidelines. If your file doesn’t check every box in their system, they don’t bother looking at the real story. They hit decline and move on.
Rich Bonn made buying our first home so much easier than we ever expected. He walked us through everything, found the loan that fit us best, and made the whole process super smooth.
I had an amazing experience working with Rich and Leslie. They were incredibly fast, transparent, and truly helpful throughout the entire process. Communication was clear and consistent, and I always felt like I was in good hands.
I highly recommend Bayit Home Loans for your mortgage financing. Rich and his team are absolutely amazing to work with and found creative ways to help me get approved.

Nope. Many readers take action after just a few chapters. The book is designed so you can start applying the strategies immediately.
Not at all. These loan strategies work nationwide. While I’m based in Houston, I’ve helped borrowers all across the U.S.
That’s exactly who this book is for. Bank statement loans and other creative solutions look at what you actually earn, not just what the IRS sees.
Perfect. You’ll see real case studies in the book of borrowers who were told “no” by traditional banks but still closed on their dream homes using these strategies.
