Bank Statement Loan Information
Bank statement loans are a flexible mortgage solution designed for self-employed individuals, business owners, and retirees who don’t fit the mold of traditional income verification. Instead of relying on W-2s or tax returns, these non-qualified mortgage (Non-QM) loans allow you to qualify based on consistent deposits shown in your bank statements. This approach makes home financing more accessible for those with complex or non-traditional income streams—without compromising on loan options or competitive terms.
• Provide 12 to 24 months of personal and/or business bank statements to verify income.
• Lenders average your monthly deposits and assess business stability, factoring in industry, expenses, and structure.
• If using both personal and business accounts, statements from each are required.
• A minimum credit score of 620 is typically needed, with better rates and terms available to those with scores of 700+.
• Minimum Requirement: Most lenders require at least 12 months of statements. Submitting 24 months can help improve your terms.
• Business vs. Personal Statements: Lenders may prefer business statements. If only personal statements are used, they may only consider a portion of your deposits.
• Additional Documentation: Some programs require a Profit & Loss statement (P&L) prepared by a CPA to support your application.
If you’re self-employed and looking for a mortgage that aligns with how you earn, a bank statement loan may be the perfect fit.
It puts your real income front and center—without the burden of tax return documentation.
