Business owners
Your business is doing well, but your tax returns don't show it after deductions.

- S corps and C corps
- Sole proprietors
- Partnerships
If your tax returns don't show what you really earn, a bank statement loan uses 12 months of personal or business bank statements to document your income.
Buy, refinance or take cash out, with a loan built for how you actually get paid.
See what I could qualify forTakes about a minute. No credit check to ask questions.
For business owners and self-employed borrowers with 2+ years in business and a 620+ credit score.

Who it's for
Smart write-offs lower your tax bill, but they can also make your income look smaller than it is on a standard mortgage application. This loan looks at your deposits.
Your business is doing well, but your tax returns don't show it after deductions.
Your income arrives as deposits from clients, not a paycheck from an employer.
Strong years and uneven months are normal for you. Twelve months of statements shows the full picture.
You run your own crew or shop, and equipment and materials eat into what your returns show.
Tell me a little about your situation and I'll tell you what's realistic. It takes about a minute.
How it's different
Same goal as any mortgage, with a different way of documenting what you earn.
Personal or business bank statements are used to document your income.
Down payments start at 10.01%. What you need depends on your credit score and loan amount.
Single-family homes, townhomes and planned communities, condos, and 2 to 4 unit properties.
Loan amounts from $100,000 up to $3.5 million, depending on credit score and down payment.*
Pay extra or pay it off early whenever you want. There's no penalty for it.
Use it for a purchase, a rate and term refinance, or a cash-out refinance, in most cases up to 80% of your home's value.
| Topic | Standard mortgage | Bank statement loan |
|---|---|---|
| How income is documented | Tax returns, W-2s and pay stubs | 12 months of bank statements |
| Best fit when | Your tax returns show your full income | Write-offs make your income look low on paper |
| Minimum down payment | Varies by program | 10.01% |
| Time in business | Usually two years | Two years |
| Prepayment penalty | Depends on the loan | None |
General comparison. If a standard loan is the better deal for you, I'll tell you. I'll show you both options side by side before you decide anything.

How it works
A few quick questions and how to reach you. That's it.
I'll ask about your business and what you're looking to buy or refinance, then tell you what's realistic.
You send 12 months of bank statements, and I guide the loan from application to closing.
That's what the call is for. If a bank statement loan isn't the right fit, there may be another route, and I'll tell you which one I'd choose. There's no credit check to chat or ask questions, and sending the form doesn't commit you to anything.
