Akron's polymer and advanced manufacturing economy creates strong demand for Non-QM loans. Bank Statement, DSCR, and ITIN mortgages for Summit County borrowers who don't fit conventional guidelines.
The Akron Opportunity
Akron is reinventing itself as a polymer science and advanced manufacturing hub, anchored by the University of Akron's polymer research programs and companies like Goodyear, Bridgestone, and a growing biomedical sector. The region's self-employed contractors, engineers, and small business owners are prime Non-QM candidates.
With home prices well below Cleveland and Columbus and rental yields in the 7–10% range, Akron offers strong cash flow for DSCR investors. The city's ongoing downtown revitalization is creating additional Fix & Flip and Bridge Loan opportunities.

"As a 1099 contractor my income looks inconsistent on paper even though I make great money. Ian used a 1099-only program — no tax returns — and got me into my dream home in Fairlawn."
"I own six rentals in Summit County and Ian has closed two of them as DSCR loans in my LLC. He knows exactly which lenders allow entity closings and gets it done right."
"We are Chinese nationals purchasing an investment property in Ohio. Ian was one of the only loan officers we found who truly understood Foreign National programs. Professional and efficient."
