Question 1

Do I need 24 months of statements or will 12 work?

Accepted Answer

12 months is accepted by most lenders. 24 months can strengthen your file if income has grown steadily.

Question 2

Can I use a business account instead of personal?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lenders apply an expense factor — often 50% — to business deposits. Personal accounts typically yield higher qualifying income.

Question 3

Are bank statement loans available for rural properties in Plumas County?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but some lenders add rate adjustments for rural areas. We shop lenders who don't penalize rural California borrowers.

Question 4

How is my qualifying income calculated?

Accepted Answer

Lenders total your deposits over 12 or 24 months, then divide by the number of months. Expenses and NSFs can reduce that number.

Question 5

Will my credit score affect my rate on a bank statement loan?

Accepted Answer

Significantly. Non-QM pricing is tiered by credit score and LTV. A 720+ score can meaningfully lower your rate. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
