Bank statement loans in Arizona: qualify without tax returns.

Self-employed and tired of being punished for write-offs? A bank statement loan qualifies you on the deposits in your bank account, not the bottom line on your tax return.

What is a bank statement loan?

A bank statement loan is a mortgage for self-employed borrowers that qualifies you on the deposits shown across 12 to 24 months of bank statements, instead of W-2s and tax returns. Your real cash flow does the talking.

If you are a business owner, 1099 earner, or entrepreneur, the write-offs that lower your tax bill also lower the income a traditional lender will count. A bank statement loan solves that by looking at what actually flows through your accounts.

How bank statement income works

Instead of your net income after deductions, the lender averages the qualifying deposits across your statement period to build your income. Business and personal accounts can both be used, depending on the program, and an expense factor is usually applied to business accounts to account for overhead.

Bank statement loan FAQ

How many months of statements do I need?
Most programs use 12 or 24 months of personal or business bank statements. More months of strong, consistent deposits generally help your qualifying income.
How much down payment do I need?
Plan on roughly 10 to 20 percent down. A higher credit score and larger reserves can move you toward the lower end.
What credit score do I need?
Many bank statement programs start around a 620 credit score, with better pricing as the score rises.
Can I use one for an investment property?
Yes. Bank statement loans work for primary homes, second homes, and investment properties, though terms vary by occupancy.
Do you also offer DSCR and Non-QM options?
Yes. If a bank statement loan is not the best fit, we will compare it against DSCR, Non-QM, and conventional options so you see the full picture.
