How a Bank Statement Loan Works

3 Important Things to Know

  • No Tax Returns Needed

    Instead of using tax returns, we will use your personal or business bank statements to determine your monthly income.

  • Gross Income Calculation

    We will review 12 or 24 months of your bank statements and calculate what your average monthly deposits come to.

  • Expense Ratio

    Depending on the type of business you operate, we will use an expense ratio of 15 to 50% to determine your qualifying income. Please see example below.

Loan Qualification

Here are a few important factors to consider when it comes to our bank statement loans.

  • Credit Score

    A credit score of at least 620-660 will be needed depending on the specific bank statement loan program you choose.

  • Down Payment

    A down payment of 10% to 20% will be required depending on the specific bank statement loan program you choose.

  • Proof of Self Employment

    In most cases, you need a self employment history of two years. A shorter self employment history may be acceptable if you have a lot of previous experience in your industry.

  • Max Loan Amount

    The maximum loan amount for any of our bank statement loan programs is $3.5M.

  • Property Uses

    Your intended property use can be for a primary residence, second home, or investment property.

Income Calculation Example

Here is an example of how income would be calculated for a bank statement loan.

A self-employed contractor provides business bank statements

- Total deposits over 12 months = $240,000

- 50% expense ratio is used to account for business costs

Adjusted annual income:

$240,000 × 50% = $120,000

Monthly qualifying income:

$120,000 ÷ 12 months = $10,000/month
