Current bank statement HELOC guidelines, updated from one source.
The cards below carry the bank-statement-path parameters straight from Lendmire’s centralized guideline source; when guidance moves, they move with it. What ultimately governs is the individual file — borrower, property, deposit analysis, and the wholesale lender selected.
Max combined LTV
Combined leverage on a statement-qualified primary residence tops out at 90% for the strongest credit tier. First mortgage and new line are measured together; the first mortgage itself stays as written.
Business-account credit gate
Business-account deposit qualification opens at 680 or higher; personal-account files enter at the occupancy floor (600 primary, 640 second home), and leverage climbs with each tier.
Maximum credit line
Statement-qualified lines run to $750K on a primary residence at a 700+ credit profile — a 75% combined ceiling and a full appraisal above $500K — and every other tier caps at $500K, except the 600 and 620 primary-residence tiers at $400K.
Automated valuation to $500,000
An automated model prices lines between $25,000 and $500,000, with a secondary valuation possible at higher combined leverage. Above $500,000 the program orders a full appraisal.

What a bank statement HELOC is — and how the approval works.
Think of it as a standard home equity line with one substitution: deposit analysis where the tax return would sit. The bank statement HELOC program guide covers the product in full; here in Georgetown, the first mortgage keeps its terms, the line records behind it, and the draw-and-repay rhythm is the same one every equity line runs on.
For a new first mortgage qualified on statements — purchase or refinance — the right page is Bank Statement Loans in Texas.
Statements replace tax returns
Instead of returns, the review reads deposits over the program window: connect the accounts, let the analysis run, upload statements only where the connection cannot. Business-account files add an expense factor and the higher credit gate shown in the snapshot.
The line rides behind the first mortgage
Everything is measured on combined leverage — the balance ahead of the line plus the line itself, against the value. The first mortgage stays exactly as written; a stand-alone second lien means no refinance and no re-pricing of the loan in front of it.
Credit sets the ceiling and the line size
Credit does two jobs at once: it decides which combined-leverage ceiling applies and which line cap pairs with it. Clear the bank statement gate and the tier your score lands in does the sizing — every rung up the table buys more ceiling and more line.
Draw first, then repay
An interest-only window, then scheduled amortization — a three-year interest-only draw with seventeen years of repayment, or a five-year draw with twenty-five years of repayment. A minimum initial draw of seventy-five percent funds at closing; pay down and redraw until the window closes.
Value times the tier’s combined loan-to-value, less what is already owed, is the working estimate of the line; the calculator below applies it to your figures and caps the answer at the program maximums shown above. Valuation, deposit analysis, and underwriting settle the final number.
Where Georgetown equity comes from — and how a line reads it.
Georgetown equity has built at different speeds — paid-down balances in older stock, fresh appreciation in newer subdivisions — and the line reads only two numbers on any of it: today’s value and the balance ahead.
Citywide figures provide general market context, not a valuation. The lender still values the subject property, analyzes the deposit history, and reviews the first mortgage, title, and program eligibility.
Data sources: U.S. Census Bureau ACS 5-Year (2024) for the figures shown.
Distinct Georgetown submarkets, distinct equity positions.
Six Georgetown submarkets, six equity stories — and a bank statement HELOC in Georgetown, TX answers each one from the same two numbers, value and balance, wherever the self-employed owner lives.
The Suburban Single-Family Ring
The established neighborhoods circling Georgetown give appraisers plenty of comparable sales to work with, which is half of what a HELOC needs. The other half — income — comes from the deposit history when the owner is self-employed.
The Older Craftsman Grid
On Georgetown’s older blocks, equity tends to run ahead of the paperwork. Statement review closes that gap, and the line follows the appraisal on stock that keeps finding buyers.
The Newer Construction Stock
Georgetown’s newer subdivisions appraise cleanly — recent sales of near-identical homes make the value case easy. Equity is younger here, but for owners who bought well, a statement-qualified line is very much in reach.
The Established Older Stock
The longest-held homes in Georgetown often carry the deepest equity — balances paid down over decades. A bank statement HELOC reaches that equity for owners whose income story lives in deposits.
The Downtown Core
Central Georgetown living puts the self-employed near their work, and the equity in those addresses is reachable without payroll paperwork: the line is reviewed on statements, the ceiling on the appraisal and the owner’s credit tier.
The Small-Business Belt
Around Georgetown’s working corridors, the borrower profile is the business owner whose return understates a healthy deposit flow. A statement-reviewed line reads the flow directly and sizes the credit line against the home.
Beyond the named submarkets, statement-qualified lines run throughout the Georgetown area; the selection is where the fit is most common, not a boundary. Availability depends on the property, program, and footprint.
Four ways Georgetown owners put home equity to work.
The line is only useful for what it funds. Four uses dominate Georgetown statement-qualified files — each one drawn against equity already in the home, with the first mortgage left exactly as written.
Fund improvements in phases
The renovation case for a Georgetown line is timing: contractors bill in stages, deposits arrive in cycles, and a revolving line lets the two meet. Each draw funds a phase, each repayment restores capacity, and the first mortgage never moves.
Fold higher-rate balances into one line
A statement-qualified line can fold higher-rate debt into one balance behind the first mortgage. For Georgetown owner-operators the appeal is simplicity: one payment, one line, and the favorable first-mortgage rate left exactly as it is.
Bridge the timing gaps of self-employment
Working capital is the use most specific to the self-employed: a revolving line that funds the business’ timing gaps from home equity, repays as the Georgetown business deposits, and never asks the first mortgage to change.
Keep repaid capacity on standby
Readiness is a use in itself. A Georgetown line revolves after the initial draw at closing — no interest on capacity you have not drawn — so that when a roof, a tax bill, or a good opportunity shows up, the capital is already approved and the first mortgage is untouched.
Estimate your Georgetown home’s available line before requesting a quote.
Four inputs — occupancy, estimated value, first-mortgage balance, credit range — and the calculator applies the business-account bank-statement tiers summarized in the snapshot above; personal-account files below the bank statement gate enter at the occupancy floors — 600 primary, 640 second home. Every result is an estimate until the lender’s valuation, deposit analysis, and underwriting finish the job.

The opening figures are a typical Georgetown-area home value and a mid-hold first-mortgage balance. Replace them with your own.
Files qualifying on business-account deposits need a credit profile of 680 or higher; the tier your score lands in then sets the combined loan-to-value and the maximum line.
Illustrative starting assumptions: a $429,100 home value — in line with the Georgetown median owner-occupied home value (U.S. Census Bureau ACS 5-Year, 2024) — and a $214,550 modeled remaining first-mortgage balance. Tier ceilings and line caps reflect the current bank-statement-path guidance and update from Lendmire’s centralized guideline source on the live page.
This estimate is illustrative and is not a Loan Estimate, an approval, or a commitment to lend. Value, qualifying deposits, credit tier, combined loan-to-value, line size, draw structure, and eligibility follow lender guidelines and full underwriting, and a minimum share of the approved line is drawn at closing.
Same equity, two very different structures.
Both tools reach the equity in a home. The right one depends on the first mortgage you already hold, how you will use the capital, and whether you want a revolving line or a one-time lump sum.
Second-lien line or new first mortgage.
A stand-alone second lien: the first mortgage keeps its rate and term, the line revolves during the draw window, and interest applies only to the drawn balance. Income qualifies from deposit activity, not from tax returns.
A bigger first mortgage retires the existing one and returns the difference at closing, so one payment carries it all. For that restructure, Lendmire arranges bank statement mortgages in Texas.
The deposit-based income analysis works the same way in either structure; what changes is the credit gate and the leverage table each program publishes. The snapshot above belongs to the line, not to the refinance.
If the first-mortgage rate is worth keeping, keep it and open the line behind it. If the whole loan is being restructured anyway, weigh the cash-out path. Lendmire arranges both and models them side by side.
What to prepare for a Georgetown statement review.
Every lender asks for something slightly different; these categories are what a self-employed homeowner can reasonably assemble before asking for a property-specific quote.
Treat the categories above as orientation, not a definitive list; the selected lender may ask for more depending on the property, the deposit analysis, occupancy, vesting, and what underwriting turns up.
Local details that can change the line.
The line size, and sometimes eligibility, can swing on deposit quality, valuation, first-lien details, and state rules for a Georgetown file. Work through the practical issues below before leaning on a target figure.
Use these checks to keep the Georgetown file clean and fundable.
Every wholesale lender reads these items its own way, so this section promises no outcome. Its job is to name the questions a self-employed homeowner should answer before the file heads to closing.
- Make the statements legible. Consistency across the review window carries more weight than any single strong month.
- Know the equity math. Line sizing starts from the appraisal and nets out what is already owed against the home.
- Position the tier. Higher tiers unlock higher combined ceilings — the pairing is structural, not negotiable.
Deposit history and account story
Everything the tax return would have said, the deposits now say. A Georgetown review reads the run of statements for consistency, matches the flow to the stated business, and applies expense treatment to business accounts — clean separation between business and household keeps the average honest.
Appraised value and combined balances
The line is sized from the appraised value with every existing lien subtracted, all inside the combined ceiling for your tier. In Georgetown, recent comparable sales decide the valuation — an automated model on most lines, a full appraisal on the largest — not the tax value or an online estimate, and that valuation decides everything downstream.
Credit tier and the ceiling it earns
Position the tier before the application: check the published floor, know which boundary is close, and time the file accordingly. In Georgetown reviews, the tier pairs with the appraisal to produce the ceiling — neither alone sets the line.
Occupancy, condition, and title
The property file has three quiet gates: it is your home or second home, you own it personally or through a revocable living trust, and the condition supports the value. Clear all three early and the Georgetown review spends its time on statements and sizing rather than on exceptions.
Texas homestead rules
Texas writes part of the term sheet into its constitution: a twelve-day waiting period between the initial disclosures and closing on a primary residence, one Texas home-equity lien at a time (an existing one is paid off at closing, and a prior Texas home-equity transaction must be seasoned twelve months), origination charged to the consumer capped at two percent, and a ten-acre limit with homestead occupancy. The program operates inside the homestead frame by design, and a Georgetown scenario is quoted on the Texas terms from the start.
From Georgetown equity to an open line.
Four steps in order: property and balance, then the deposit connection, then valuation and title, then underwriting through to closing and the first draw.
Run the scenario
Share the address, an estimated value, the balance on the first, your credit range, occupancy, and the purpose of the Georgetown line.
Connect the deposits
A secure account connection runs the income analysis; statement upload is the fallback, on the published personal-account and business-account treatments.
Document the property
Complete the valuation the program assigns, the title review, the first-mortgage statement, and any occupancy or trust documentation the lender requires.
Close and draw
Finalize the structure, satisfy the minimum initial draw at closing, and manage the revolving balance through the draw window as needs arise over time.
A brokerage built around statement-qualified borrowers.
From a one-person shop to a multi-entity operation, Georgetown self-employed files vary widely — and no single lender fits all of them.
Wholesale comparison
Rather than force every Georgetown file into one institution’s tier table and income treatment, Lendmire compares wholesale bank statement HELOC sources.
Statement-income specialization
The review reads deposit quality, the account path, occupancy, the tier the credit supports, and how the first-mortgage terms interact with the new line of credit.
The investor desk
Lendmire also arranges business-purpose equity lines and DSCR financing on rentals — so a homeowner who owns investment property can plan both files side by side.

Georgetown bank statement HELOC FAQs
These answers address the questions homeowners commonly raise about a bank statement HELOC in Georgetown, TX — income analysis, leverage, occupancy, draw structure, and eligibility. Final program terms remain scenario-specific.
How does a bank statement HELOC work in Georgetown, Texas?
It is a home equity line of credit where income is reviewed from business or personal bank statements instead of tax returns. The appraisal and your credit tier size the line against the current tier ceilings; you draw as needed and pay interest on the drawn balance.
Who is the bank statement HELOC designed for in Georgetown?
Put simply: self-employed owners, independent contractors, and small-business operators whose deposits tell a stronger story than their returns — the review reads the statements directly.
Which bank statements are reviewed?
The review reads a run of business or personal statements — the program sets the review window — averaging deposits and applying the lender’s expense treatment where business accounts are used.
How much can I borrow on a bank statement HELOC in Georgetown?
The line is sized from the appraised value, the combined balances against the home, and your credit tier, inside the program’s tiered ceilings — the calculator above walks your own numbers.
How do Texas home equity rules shape a Georgetown line?
Texas home-equity rules govern a Georgetown primary-residence line — a twelve-day wait between disclosures and closing, one Texas home-equity lien at a time, a two-percent cap on origination charged to the consumer, and homestead occupancy on no more than ten acres.
Do I need perfect credit for a statement-based line?
Credit sets the tier rather than a yes-or-no gate: higher scores unlock the larger ceilings of the higher tiers, and the entry floor is six hundred on a primary residence, six hundred forty on a second home.
What makes statements ‘strong enough’ for approval?
Consistent deposits over the window, an account story that matches the business, and no pattern the underwriter cannot explain — steadiness beats spikes.
Can the line be on a rental property instead of my home in Georgetown?
Put simply: this page covers the owner-occupied program — a primary residence or a second home. Investment-property lines are a separate program with different ceilings — see the investment property HELOC page for Georgetown linked below.
Can I use the line for my business in Georgetown?
Put simply: draws are yours to direct once the line is open — many owners fund projects, inventory, or timing gaps. The loan itself is a consumer credit line secured by your home, so the disclosures and process follow consumer rules.
What does the draw period look like on a HELOC?
Put simply: an initial period where you can draw and repay flexibly, followed by a repayment phase on whatever balance remains — the specific structure is set in your line agreement.
