Chino Hills attracts a lot of business owners and independent contractors. These borrowers earn real money but can't show it on a W-2.
Bank statement loans exist for exactly this profile. Your deposits replace pay stubs as proof of income.

Loan Type
Most lenders want 12 to 24 months of personal or business bank statements. Business account borrowers typically apply a 50% expense ratio to deposits.
Credit score minimums usually start at 620. Expect to put down 10% to 20% depending on your score and loan size.
Bank statement loans are non-QM products. Most big retail banks don't offer them. You need a broker with access to wholesale non-QM lenders.
Rates run higher than conventional. That's the tradeoff for skipping tax return documentation. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
The biggest mistake I see: borrowers submit business statements without understanding the expense ratio. A $20K monthly deposit becomes $10K qualifying income.
Personal bank statements avoid that haircut entirely. If your personal account shows consistent deposits, that's often the stronger file.
If you get 1099s but not W-2s, a 1099 loan might qualify you at a better rate than bank statements. It depends on how your income is structured.
Profit & loss loans are another option. Some lenders accept a CPA-prepared P&L with fewer months of statements. We run both scenarios side by side.
Chino Hills has a high concentration of small business owners, particularly in healthcare, logistics, and retail. Bank statement loans are a common fit here.
San Bernardino County properties tend to be more affordable than LA County. That keeps loan sizes manageable even at non-QM rates.
Yes. Most lenders apply a 50% expense ratio to business deposits. Personal statements often show higher qualifying income.
12 months is the minimum. 24 months gives lenders a fuller picture and may improve your rate.
Yes. Non-QM rates run higher than conventional. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Most lenders start at 620. A higher score improves your rate and may reduce the down payment required.
Some non-QM lenders allow it. A DSCR loan might be a cleaner fit for investment properties with rental income.
Irregular deposits, large unexplained transfers, or a score below 600 create problems. Clean statements matter more than total deposit volume.
