Cypress sits in northwest Orange County — a tight market where prices move fast. Self-employed buyers need to compete, and bank statement loans make that possible.
Traditional lenders look at tax returns. Most self-employed borrowers write off aggressively, so their taxable income looks low. Bank statement loans solve that problem.

You'll need 12 to 24 months of bank statements — personal, business, or both. Lenders average your deposits to calculate qualifying income.
Most lenders want a 660+ credit score for bank statement loans. Down payments typically start at 10%, though 20% gets you better rates. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Bank statement loans are non-QM products. That means most big retail banks don't offer them. You need a broker with wholesale access — not a bank branch.
At SRK CAPITAL, we work with 200+ wholesale lenders. That matters here because non-QM guidelines vary wildly between lenders. One lender's rejection is another's approval.
Business bank statements get a closer look. Lenders apply an expense ratio — usually 50% — to business deposits before counting them as income. Personal statements count dollar-for-dollar.
Mixing personal and business accounts creates issues. Keep them separate before applying. Clean statements close faster and with fewer lender conditions.
If you get 1099s, a 1099 loan may qualify you for a higher amount than bank statements alone. P&L loans work well when your CPA can produce a detailed profit and loss statement.
Have significant assets but low income? Asset depletion loans use your portfolio instead of income. Own rental properties? DSCR loans qualify based on the property's rent — not your income at all.
Cypress has a strong small business community — contractors, consultants, and shop owners are common borrowers here. Bank statement loans fit that profile exactly.
