Bank Statement Loans

Bank Statement Loans in Texas

Mortgage program that lets self-employed borrowers qualify using personal or business bank statements instead of tax returns.

About this program

Bank statement loans are designed for self-employed borrowers whose tax returns don't tell the full story of their income. Instead of relying on two years of tax returns, the lender averages deposits across 12 to 24 months of personal or business bank statements to determine qualifying income.

This matters most for entrepreneurs, contractors, freelancers, gig workers, and small business owners who legitimately write off heavy business expenses. The deductions that lower your taxable income also make you look smaller on paper to a conventional underwriter, even if your actual cash flow easily supports a mortgage.

Bank statement loans are a flagship non-QM program. We work with multiple bank statement lenders and can match the right program to your specific deposit pattern, business type, and financial profile.
