A bank statement loan is a type of mortgage that allows self-employed borrowers to verify their income based on their personal or business bank statements, rather than traditional methods like tax returns, W-2s, or paystubs.

One of the biggest hurdles that self-employed individuals, small business owners, or independent contractors such as gig operators face is showing qualifying income for their desired mortgage.
