What is the Bank Statement Program?

The bank statement program allows you to have your cake and eat it too. Hang on to all of the deductions that essentially make up your income and still live in the home you deserve.

Until now, the only reason you have not been able to qualify for a conventional mortgage is because the banking and lending industry wants to control the way you borrow.

If you have ever felt as though the system was designed to force you to file taxes a certain way and pay an incredibly large portion of your earnings in order to qualify for a standard mortgage… you were right!  In a very real sense, it is set up to work against the entrepreneur.

But thanks to the introduction of these products back into the market place in 2016, self employed borrowers and investors finally have an alternative.

We have gone against convention and looked at every borrowers scenario individually, in order to get our clients to qualify and we will do the same for you.

Bank statement loans are popular with the following types of borrowers:

• Business owners
• Freelance employees
• Consultants
• Contract workers
• Independent contractors
• Sole proprietors
• Gig economy workers
• Realtors
• Entrepreneurs
• Retirees

How do bank statement loans work?

• We collect the last 12 months of your bank statements and calculate your income based off of deposits. Not every deposit is qualifying, But we have years of experience in presenting your deposits in such a way, as to maximize your allowable income. Once the income has been established and the credit has been analyzed we can write you a pre-approval on the same day! If you are in need of a refinance, we can typically prepare a file for submission within 48 hours and have an approval back within 48 hours of disclosures being acknowledged.
