Both loans skip tax returns entirely. That alone sets them apart from conventional financing.
One qualifies you on your personal deposits. The other qualifies you on the rental income of the property itself.
Bank Statement loans are built for self-employed borrowers. Lenders use 12 to 24 months of deposits to calculate your income.
Your write-offs don't count against you here. Lenders look at cash flow, not taxable income.
DSCR loans qualify you based on the property's rent — not your income. Your W-2 or tax returns never enter the picture.
Lenders calculate a DSCR ratio: monthly rent divided by monthly debt. A ratio of 1.0 or higher usually gets you approved.
Bank Statement loans are personal income loans. DSCR loans are property income loans. That distinction drives every other difference.
Bank Statement loans can finance your primary residence. DSCR loans cannot — they are strictly for investment properties.
Run a business and need to buy or refinance your home in Villa Park? Bank Statement is your loan.
Buying a rental property and want to qualify without using your personal income? DSCR is the cleaner path.
Some borrowers use both. Bank Statement for their home, DSCR to build their rental portfolio separately.
No. DSCR loans are investment property only. For a primary home, you need a Bank Statement or conventional loan.
Most lenders want at least 24 months of self-employment history. Some will approve with 12 months in the same field.
Most lenders require a ratio of 1.0 or higher. Below 1.0 means rent doesn't cover the mortgage — harder to approve.
Both are Non-QM loans, so rates run higher than conventional. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Yes. Many investors use Bank Statement for their home and DSCR for rentals. Each loan stands on its own qualifications.
Expect 20–25% down for both programs. Some lenders go lower depending on credit score and property type.
