Loan Type
Lenders look at your average monthly deposits over 12 or 24 months. That average becomes your qualifying income — not your Schedule C net.
Most programs require a 660+ credit score and 10-20% down. Some lenders go lower on the score if your reserves are strong.
Bank statement loans are non-QM products. That means they don't go through Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Not every lender offers them.
At SRK CAPITAL, we work with 200+ wholesale lenders — including many that specialize in non-QM. That gives you real options, not just one program.
The most common mistake: using business statements without accounting for expenses. Lenders apply an expense factor — often 50% — to business accounts.

1099 loans are close cousins — they work if most of your income shows on 1099 forms. Bank statement loans are more flexible for mixed income.
DSCR loans skip personal income entirely. If you're buying a rental, DSCR may be cleaner. Bank statement loans are best for primary or second homes.
Los Alamitos sits at the edge of Orange and LA counties. Many buyers here are business owners tied to the aerospace, retail, and service sectors nearby.

Yes. Non-QM loans carry more lender risk, so rates run higher. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Lenders average all 12 or 24 months. Big gaps or unusual deposits will raise questions — be ready to explain them.
Some programs allow 10% down. Below 20%, expect stricter credit and reserve requirements from the lender.
Yes. Second home purchases are eligible. Investment properties usually fit better under a DSCR loan structure.
