Hanford sits in Kings County — a region built on agriculture, small business, and independent work. Many buyers here don't have W-2s to show a lender.
Bank statement loans are built for exactly that borrower. No tax returns required. Your deposits tell the story instead.

Bank Statement Loans in Hanford
Lenders typically want 12 to 24 months of bank statements — personal, business, or both. They average your deposits to calculate qualifying income.
Expect a minimum credit score around 620–660 depending on the lender. Down payments usually start at 10%, though 20% gets you better pricing. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Bank statement loans are non-QM — meaning they don't follow Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac rules. Not every lender offers them.
At SRK CAPITAL, we work with 200+ wholesale lenders. Several specialize in non-QM products built for self-employed borrowers in markets like Hanford.
The biggest mistake I see is borrowers using only their business account. If your deposits are heavy with transfers and refunds, the underwriter will discount that income hard.
Clean personal statements often qualify you for more than you'd expect. We look at both accounts and pick the path that gets you the best loan.
A 1099 loan might work if you file 1099s and want lenders to use that income directly. A P&L loan leans on a CPA-prepared statement instead of bank deposits.
Bank statement loans fit best when your deposits are strong but your tax returns show low net income. That's the gap this product was built to fill.
Kings County has a strong base of farm operators, contractors, and small business owners. These borrowers often show strong cash flow but low reported income on taxes.
That write-off strategy kills a conventional loan application. A bank statement loan sidesteps it entirely — and Hanford buyers use this product more than most assume.
Yes, but lenders apply an expense ratio — often 50% — to business deposits. Personal accounts usually produce higher qualifying income.
Yes. Bank statement loans are designed for self-employed borrowers. W-2 employees have easier paths through conventional or FHA products.
Most lenders require at least two years of self-employment history. Some allow one year with strong compensating factors.
Yes, typically. Non-QM pricing carries a premium over agency loans. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Both. Bank statement loans cover primary residences, second homes, and investment properties depending on the lender.
Lenders average deposits across the full 12 or 24 months. Consistent patterns help — but some variation is normal and expected.
