12-Month Bank Statement Loan – The #1 Choice for Self-Employed Borrowers


Our most popular loan program for self-employed borrowers, the 12-month bank statement mortgage, is designed to help you qualify using your real income—not just what’s reported on your tax returns.

Instead of traditional income documentation, you can simply provide 12 months of personal or business bank statements to qualify. In some cases, even less documentation may be required.


For borrowers who are able to provide 24 months of bank statements, you may benefit from lower interest rates and more favorable loan terms.


✅ Why Self-Employed Borrowers Love This Program

  • No tax returns required in many cases
  • Use personal or business bank statements to verify income
  • Qualify based on true cash flow—not write-offs
  • Flexible underwriting tailored for business owners and 1099 earners
  • Fast and efficient approval process


⭐ Client Testimonial

"As a self-employed business owner, I struggled to qualify for a traditional mortgage because of my tax write-offs. The bank statement loan program made all the difference. I was able to use my real income, got approved quickly, and closed on my home without the usual hassle. Highly recommend this program to anyone self-employed!"


— James R., Small Business Owner

How to Get Started & Move Toward Loan Approval


Getting approved for a bank statement loan or alternative income mortgage is simple when you know the steps. Here’s how to begin and keep your loan moving smoothly:


1. Complete Your Loan Application

Start by submitting your mortgage application. In many cases, your application can be reviewed the same day, helping you move quickly toward pre-approval.


2. Gather Your Bank Statements & Financial Documents

Be prepared to provide 12–24 months of personal or business bank statements, along with any investment account statements if applicable.
Lenders will use these documents to calculate your average monthly income and determine your loan eligibility.


3. Credit Profile Review

We will review your credit profile to assess your qualification.
A stronger credit score can improve your chances of approval and may help you secure better rates and loan terms.


4. Prepare Your Down Payment

Most bank statement loan programs require a down payment starting at 10% or more, depending on your financial profile and loan type.


5. Verify Assets & Reserves

You’ll need to show proof of funds for your down payment, reserves, and any additional assets. This helps demonstrate financial stability and strengthens your application.


6. Stay Engaged & Responsive

Responding quickly to document requests and updates will help ensure a fast, smooth, and stress-free approval process.


🚀 Get Pre-Approved Today

By following these steps, you can streamline your path to approval and take advantage of flexible mortgage solutions designed for self-employed borrowers and non-traditional income.

Asset-Backed Loans

Assets for home loans.

An asset-based mortgage loan (also known as an asset depletion loan) is a powerful financing option for borrowers who may not show traditional income but have significant assets.


✅ Who Should Consider an Asset-Based Loan?


This option may be ideal if you are:

  • Self-employed with lower reported income
    You may write off expenses for tax purposes, reducing your qualifying income—but your assets still reflect your true financial strength.
     
  • Retired or nearing retirement
    If you're no longer receiving a steady paycheck but have substantial savings, investments, or retirement funds, you can still qualify.
     
  • Earning minimal or no income
    Even without traditional employment income, your liquid assets can be used to demonstrate your ability to repay a loan.
     
  • Unemployed or without verifiable employment
    Asset-based lending focuses on what you have, not just what you earn.
     

💰 How Asset Depletion Works

With an asset depletion mortgage, lenders convert your eligible assets, such as:

  • 401(k) or retirement accounts
  • Savings and checking accounts
  • Investment portfolios

…into a calculated income stream used to qualify you for a home loan.

🌟 Why Choose an Asset-Based Loan?

  • No need for traditional income verification
  • Flexible qualification for non-traditional borrowers
  • Ideal for high-net-worth individuals or retirees
  • Helps turn your savings into homeownership opportunities

If you have strong assets but limited income, an asset-based home loan could be the perfect solution.

Non-QM Loans: Flexible Mortgage Solutions for Non-Traditional Borrowers


Unlock the opportunity to own a home with Non-QM (Non-Qualified Mortgage) loan programs, including bank statement loans, alternative income verification, and asset-based lending. These programs are designed for borrowers who don’t fit the traditional lending box—but still have strong financial profiles.



✅ Why Consider a Non-QM Loan?

Non-QM loans are ideal for borrowers who may have difficulty qualifying for conventional financing:


  • Self-employed borrowers using bank statements instead of tax returns
  • Business owners with significant write-offs
  • Real estate investors with multiple properties
  • Retirees or high-net-worth individuals using assets instead of income
  • Borrowers with recent credit events or unique financial scenarios

These programs provide flexibility and opportunity, helping you qualify based on your true financial picture—not just traditional income documentation.


⭐ Key Benefits of Non-QM Loans

1. Alternative Income Verification

No W-2s? No problem. Use 12–24 months of bank statements or other documentation instead of traditional income verification.


2. Expanded Qualification Options

Qualify using:

  • Bank statements
  • Asset depletion (401k, savings, investments)
  • Rental income
  • Profit & loss statements

3. Homeownership Without Traditional Limits

Non-QM loans make it possible to:

  • Buy a home while self-employed
  • Secure financing even with complex income
  • Leverage your assets to qualify


⚠️ Drawbacks of Non-QM Loans

While Non-QM loans offer flexibility, it’s important to understand the trade-offs:


Higher Interest Rates

Because these loans fall outside conventional guidelines, interest rates are typically slightly higher than traditional mortgages.


Larger Down Payment Requirements

  • Bank statements and alternative income programs often require 10% or more down
  • Asset depletion loans typically require 20%+ down


Credit Score Requirements

Some programs require minimum credit scores of 680 or higher, depending on the loan type.


💰 Asset Depletion Loans: A Unique Non-QM Option


An asset depletion mortgage allows you to qualify using your liquid assets instead of income.


✅ Benefits:

  • Competitive interest rates (often near standard GSE levels)
  • No employment or income required
  • Ideal for retirees or high-asset borrowers

⚠️ Considerations:

  • Requires 20% or more down payment
  • Must meet credit score requirements (typically 680+)


🏡 Is a Non-QM Loan Right for You?

If you’ve been turned down for a traditional mortgage or your income doesn’t tell the full story, a Non-QM loan could be the solution.
