Bank Statement Loans

Instead of averaging two years of tax returns, the lender reviews bank deposits, a profit-and-loss statement, or liquid assets to size qualifying income.

It’s an input the underwriter reviews, not a decision the CPA makes.

On a mortgage, it isn’t its own category. Lenders treat it based on the paper trail it leaves: W-2, K-1, or corporate tax return.

Lenders average the deposits, apply an expense factor to business accounts, and use the result as qualifying income.

It only applies to business accounts, not personal ones.

Mortgages For 1099 Consultants Without Two Years Of W-2s — You do not need two years of W-2s to get a mortgage as a 1099 consultant.

Mortgages For E-commerce Sellers With Fluctuating Deposits — An e-commerce seller’s bank account rarely looks like a W-2 employee’s.

Business owners whose write-offs shrink their taxable income on paper often carry real cash flow that tax returns never show.

Loan sizes through select wholesale programs run from $300,000 into the tens of millions, with leverage stepping down as the amount climbs.

For an independent earner buying a rental property, there’s often a simpler path: qualify on what the property itself earns instead.

Underwriting swaps tax returns for 12 or 24 months of deposits, then layers on the same occupancy rules every mortgage uses.

Two-appraisal Jumbo Loans And How Lenders Use Both Values — A second appraisal on a large loan is a lender overlay, not a federal law.

On jumbo and super jumbo files, that count rises with loan size and property use because there’s no agency backstop absorbing the risk.
