Bank statement loans are specialty mortgage programs designed for self-employed borrowers who have trouble showing their income through traditional documentation. Instead of W-2s or tax returns, qualification is based on 12-24 months of personal or business bank statements — giving a more accurate picture of your actual earning capacity. This is ideal for business owners, freelancers, and entrepreneurs whose tax returns understate their true income due to business write-offs. Contact Q Home Loans to discuss your situation.
Business owners who maximize deductions often show low taxable income. Bank statement loans use actual cash flow instead.
Your real income — shown by deposits — is often much higher than what your tax returns reflect.
Bank statement loans are available up to $3M, making them ideal for high-income self-employed buyers.
Primary residence, second home, investment property — all eligible for bank statement financing.
Use whichever statements show the strongest income picture — we'll help you determine the best approach.
No need to share detailed business tax returns with your lender — just bank statements.
