What is a bank statement loan?

A bank statement mortgage uses eligible deposits to evaluate self-employment income, rather than relying on tax returns for that income calculation.

These loans are typically non-QM programs with lender-specific requirements. Credit, debts, assets, and repayment ability still matter.

Your income may need a different documentation approach.

Our Houzd Mortgage team will compare bank statement financing with traditional options before recommending a path.

Financing that considers how you earn.

Lenders account for expenses and ownership when calculating income.

How are deposits turned into income?

Lenders identify eligible deposits and exclude or document transfers, borrowed funds, and unusual deposits. Business expenses and ownership share may affect the calculation.

The resulting income is evaluated alongside your monthly debt obligations.

Total deposits aren't automatically income.

Expense factors vary by program and business. Some lenders accept additional expense documentation from a qualified third party. We'll confirm the applicable rules before estimating buying power.

Start with your business and your goals.

Bank Statement Loan FAQ

Do I need to provide tax returns?
Some programs don't require tax returns for qualifying self-employment income. Other income sources or circumstances may require additional documents.
Is this a no-documentation loan?
No. Lenders verify income through statements and review credit, assets, debts, business information, and the property.
How long do I need to be self-employed?
Many programs require two years of self-employment history. Rules and permitted exceptions vary.
How much down payment will I need?
It depends on credit, loan amount, property, occupancy, and lender. We'll confirm minimums and reserve requirements.
Are rates higher than traditional mortgages?
They may be. Alternative documentation can carry different pricing and fees. We'll compare total costs with other programs you may qualify for.
Do all self-employed borrowers need this program?
No. You may qualify for conventional or government-backed financing using traditional documentation. We'll review those options too.
