The Ins & Outs
How it Works
A Bank Statement loan is designed for self-employed business owners whose tax returns may not accurately reflect their income. Instead of qualifying with traditional tax documents, eligible borrowers may use 12 or 24 months of personal or business bank statements to demonstrate cash flow and qualify for a Non-QM mortgage.
These programs are available for primary residences, second homes, and investment properties, including loan amounts above conventional lending limits.
Example Scenario
A business owner earns $250,000 annually but reports significantly less taxable income after deductions. Rather than qualifying with tax returns, a Bank Statement loan may allow eligible bank deposits to better reflect their cash flow.
What is a Bank Statement loan?
A Bank Statement loan is a Non-QM mortgage that allows eligible self-employed borrowers to qualify using bank statements instead of traditional tax returns.
Are Bank Statement loans safe?
Yes. Like other mortgage programs, Bank Statement loans require lenders to verify your ability to repay while offering more flexible income documentation.
Are Bank Statement loan interest rates higher?
Bank Statement loan rates are often higher than conventional loans because they provide greater qualification flexibility. Your rate depends on factors like credit, down payment, loan amount, and overall financial profile.
Can I refinance a Bank Statement loan later?
Yes. Many borrowers refinance into a conventional loan once they qualify under traditional lending guidelines or their financial situation changes.
How much can I borrow?
Many Bank Statement loan programs offer loan amounts above conventional lending limits. The maximum loan amount depends on the lender, property type, and your overall financial profile.
