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.
Bank Statement Mortgage Approval are generally used by self-employed individuals, small business owners, or independent contractors. Borrowers do not have to own 100% of the business. Our Bank Statement program provides a loan solution to help underserved credit-worthy self-employed borrowers who otherwise would not qualify for a home loan.
