Calistoga runs on wine, hospitality, and tourism — industries full of self-employed earners whose tax returns look worse than their bank accounts.
Bank statement loans skip the W-2 entirely. Lenders look at 12 to 24 months of deposits instead. That fits Calistoga's economy well.

Bank Statement Loans in Calistoga
Most lenders want a 640+ credit score for bank statement loans. Some go lower, but expect a higher rate if you're under 680.
Down payment is typically 10–20%. The more you put down, the more lenders compete for your business. Reserves matter too — plan for 3 to 6 months of payments in the bank.
Banks rarely offer these loans. Bank statement programs live almost entirely in the wholesale and non-QM lending world.
That's exactly where we operate. SRK CAPITAL works with 200+ wholesale lenders — many of them specialists in non-QM programs like this one.
The biggest mistake self-employed borrowers make: applying at their personal bank first. Retail banks almost never do bank statement loans.
Lenders calculate income differently — some use 50% of deposits, others use 100% after expenses. That difference alone can swing your qualifying income by tens of thousands of dollars. Lender selection is everything here.
If you have strong 1099 income, a 1099 loan might qualify you at a better rate. If you own rentals, a DSCR loan skips your personal income entirely.
Bank statement loans hit the sweet spot for business owners with mixed income — cash deposits, business revenue, and personal draws all rolled into one picture.
Calistoga property values reflect Napa County's premium wine country status. Loan amounts here often push into jumbo territory — many bank statement lenders accommodate that.
Winery owners, vineyard operators, and boutique hotel proprietors are exactly who this loan was built for. If your income is real but your taxes say otherwise, this is your path.
Yes. Most lenders accept business statements. They typically apply an expense factor — often 50% — to calculate net income.
Most lenders want 2 years of self-employment. Some allow 12 months with strong deposits and reserves.
Rates are higher than conventional loans. The tradeoff is qualifying without tax returns. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Yes. Many non-QM lenders offer bank statement programs up to $3M or more. Jumbo amounts are common in wine country purchases.
Lenders average your deposits across 12 or 24 months. Seasonal income — common in Calistoga's hospitality sector — is manageable.
