Who qualifies for a bank statement loan?

If your income is real but your tax returns don't show it, this program was designed for you.

Business owners

LLC, S-Corp, and sole proprietors with strong deposits but heavy tax deductions.

Freelancers & 1099s

Independent contractors, consultants, and gig economy workers with variable income.

Real estate investors

Investors with rental income flowing through their accounts who need flexible verification.

Seasonal earners

Contractors, event professionals, and others whose income peaks at certain times of year.

Side-hustle entrepreneurs

Earners with multiple income streams that are hard to document on a traditional application.

High net-worth borrowers

Applicants with significant assets and deposits who prefer not to share full tax documentation.

Texas’s trusted self-employed lender

Your tax returns don’t tell the whole story. Our bank statement loan programs recognize your actual cash flow and earning power, giving self-employed Texas borrowers an honest path to homeownership.

No tax returns needed

Qualify using 12–24 months of personal or business bank deposits. Your tax write-offs won’t hold you back from qualifying for the home you deserve.

True income recognition

We analyze your actual deposits, not your adjusted gross income. For business accounts, we apply an industry-standard expense ratio so your real cash flow shines through.

Up to 90% LTV financing

Put as little as 10% down. Combined with competitive non-QM rates, you keep more capital working in your business while still purchasing your dream home.

Built for all self-employed

Whether you’re a 1099 contractor, LLC owner, freelancer, gig worker, or sole proprietor — if you have consistent bank deposits, we have a path to approval.

Bank statement loan FAQ

Answers to the most common questions about qualifying with bank deposits instead of tax returns.

Instead of tax returns or W-2s, we calculate your qualifying income using 12 or 24 months of personal or business bank deposits. This allows self-employed Texans to qualify based on real cash flow rather than taxable income after tax deductions.
Minimum credit score is typically 660 for purchase loans with 10% down. Borrowers with 700+ credit scores qualify for the most competitive interest rates and highest loan amounts up to $3M+.
For business bank statements, a standard 50% expense ratio is typically applied (meaning 50% of gross deposits count as net qualifying income). If your business operates with lower overhead, a CPA expense letter can allow 70–80%+ of deposits to qualify. For personal bank statements, 100% of non-business transfers qualify.
Yes. Bank statement loans accommodate primary residences, vacation second homes, and 1–4 unit investment properties with loan limits well above standard conforming limits.
Because we underwrite in-house and do not require IRS tax transcripts, we routinely close bank statement purchase loans in 21 to 28 days.
