FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Bank Statement Loan.
Who is a bank statement loan designed for?
Bank statement loans are designed for self-employed borrowers, freelancers, business owners, and gig workers who have strong revenue but lower taxable income due to business deductions. If your tax returns don’t reflect your true income, this product may be a better fit.
How many months of bank statements do I need?
Most programs require 12 or 24 months of consecutive bank statements. Using 24 months typically results in a more accurate income calculation and may qualify you for a larger loan amount.
Can I use business bank statements?
Yes. Business bank statements are accepted by most lenders. Your qualifying income is calculated as a percentage of deposits based on your business’s typical expense ratio, while personal bank statements are generally counted in full.
What credit score do I need for a bank statement loan?
620 for a first-position loan and 660 for a second position. LTV runs up to 80% on purchases and rate & term refinances and 75% on cash-out. Stronger credit opens up more program options.
Can I use a bank statement loan for an investment property?
Yes. Bank statement loans are available for primary residences and investment properties (second homes are not eligible on this program). Requirements and pricing may vary by property type.
