Bank-statement mortgage loans · Self-employed borrowers

Qualify with cash flow that reflects how your business operates.

For some self-employed borrowers, taxable income does not show the full picture. A bank-statement program may analyze eligible deposits over a defined period instead of relying only on traditional tax-return income.

How it works

Start with the features that shape the decision.

01

Personal statements

Some programs use eligible deposits shown in personal bank accounts.

02

Business statements

Business deposits may be reviewed with an applicable expense factor or supported expense analysis.

03

Program-specific review

Account ownership, deposit consistency, transfers and unusual activity must be documented.

Plan before you apply

Details to review with Joe.

  • Keep business and personal activity as clear and consistent as possible.
  • Be ready to explain large, irregular or transferred deposits.
  • Document self-employment history and business ownership.
  • Compare calculated qualifying income, down payment, reserves and pricing across options.

Common questions

How many months of statements are needed?

Can I use business and personal statements together?

Some programs allow different approaches, but mixing accounts and income sources requires careful review.
