Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about bank statement loans for self-employed borrowers.

Lenders review your average monthly deposits over 12-24 months and apply an expense ratio (typically 25-50% depending on your business type) to determine your qualifying income. For example, if you have $10,000 in average monthly deposits with a 40% expense ratio, your qualifying income would be $6,000/month. This method often results in higher qualifying income than using tax returns.
We accept personal bank statements, business bank statements, or a combination of both. Statements must be consecutive months from the same account(s). We can work with most major banks and credit unions. Statements should show consistent deposits and standard business activity without large one-time transfers or unusual transactions.
Minimum credit scores typically start at 680, though some programs may go as low as 660 with compensating factors like larger down payments. Higher credit scores (700+) will qualify for better interest rates and terms. We'll review your complete profile to determine the best program options available.
Down payment requirements vary by property type and loan amount. Primary residences typically require 10-15% down, second homes 15-20%, and investment properties 20-25%. Larger down payments (25%+) may qualify for better rates and more flexible terms. We offer competitive options for various down payment levels.
Yes! Bank statement loans are available for primary residences, second homes, and investment properties. Many real estate investors prefer this option as it allows them to use rental income from their business accounts and qualify without personal tax returns. Loan-to-value ratios and rates vary by property type.
Pre-approval typically takes 24-48 hours once we receive your bank statements and credit authorization. Full approval and closing usually takes 21-30 days total, depending on property appraisal and title work. This is often faster than traditional mortgages due to fewer documentation requirements.
Bank statement loan rates are typically slightly higher than conventional mortgages due to the flexible documentation and higher risk profile. However, rates are competitive and vary based on credit score, loan-to-value ratio, property type, and down payment amount. Strong borrower profiles can secure very favorable rates.
While many programs prefer 2+ years of self-employment history, we have options for borrowers with 12-24 months of bank statements showing consistent income. Previous experience in the same field or industry may also help. We'll review your complete situation to determine the best path forward for approval.
Yes, if you have both self-employment income and W-2 income, we can combine both income sources to maximize your qualifying power. This is common for borrowers transitioning from employment to self-employment or those with side businesses. We'll use the documentation method that gives you the best qualifying results.
Bank statement loans are specifically designed to avoid tax returns for income verification. However, some lenders may request tax returns for informational purposes or to verify no tax liens exist. The key difference is that your income qualification is based solely on your bank statements, not your tax returns, allowing you to qualify despite business write-offs.
