Key Benefits

12 or 24 Month Bank Statements

We use your average monthly deposits over 12 or 24 months to calculate your qualifying income — no tax returns required.

Business or Personal Accounts

Both business and personal bank statements are accepted. We'll help you determine which provides the strongest qualification.

Write-Offs Won't Disqualify You

Many self-employed borrowers write off significant business expenses — reducing their taxable income but not their actual earnings. We look at deposits, not net income.

Loan Amounts Up to $3 Million

Bank statement loans support high-value purchases with loan amounts up to $3M, making them ideal for high-earning self-employed borrowers.

Down Payment from 10%

Bank statement loans typically require 10–20% down depending on your credit profile and loan amount.

Fast, Local Processing

Our Bakersfield-based team understands the local market and works to process your file efficiently so you can close on time.
