Loan Type
Lenders average your monthly deposits over 12 or 24 months. That average becomes your qualifying income.
Most lenders want a 620+ credit score. Some go lower with a bigger down payment. Expect to put down at least 10%, often more.
Banks don't do these loans. This is non-QM territory — wholesale lenders and private investors fund them.
Not every lender prices these the same. Rate swings of 1% or more between lenders are common on bank statement programs. Shopping matters.
The biggest mistake I see: borrowers mixing personal and business deposits without a clean paper trail. It kills deals fast.
If you use business statements, lenders apply an expense factor — typically 50% to 75%. Your qualifying income drops. Know that going in.
A 1099 loan works if most of your income hits 1099s. If your income is mixed or runs through a business, bank statements fit better.
Profit & loss loans are simpler but harder to get approved. Bank statement loans have more lender options and more flexibility.
Irvine home prices are high. Many borrowers here need larger loan amounts — and bank statement loans go well into jumbo territory.
Irvine's business community is dense. Business owners here often show low taxable income despite strong cash flow. That's exactly who this loan serves.
Yes. Personal statements skip the expense factor. All deposits must be clearly from business income.
Most lenders start at 620. Better scores get better rates. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Minimum 12 months. Twenty-four months gives lenders more confidence and usually gets you better pricing.
Yes. Many non-QM lenders go to $3M or higher on bank statement programs. Irvine buyers use this regularly.
Unusual large deposits raise flags. Lenders want consistent monthly cash flow, not spikes. Document any large one-time deposits.
Expect to pay more. Bank statement loans carry higher rates than conventional. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
