Question 1

Can I use a business bank account for this loan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most lenders accept business statements. They'll apply an expense factor — usually 25 to 50% — to estimate your net income.

Question 2

Do I need to show tax returns at all?

Accepted Answer

No. That's the point of a bank statement loan. Tax returns are not used to verify income on this product.

Question 3

How does seasonal farm income get treated?

Accepted Answer

Lenders average 24 months of deposits. That averaging helps offset slow seasons and gives a more accurate income number.

Question 4

Are bank statement loan rates higher than conventional?

Accepted Answer

Yes, typically. Non-QM products carry more risk for lenders. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.

Question 5

How much can I borrow with a bank statement loan in Ferndale?

Accepted Answer

Loan limits depend on your qualifying income and lender guidelines. Non-QM lenders often go up to $3 million or more.
