Question 1

Can I use personal bank statements instead of business?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Personal statements skip the expense factor calculation. Lenders use 100% of those deposits as qualifying income.

Question 2

How many months of statements do I need?

Accepted Answer

Most programs require 12 months minimum. 24 months gives lenders more confidence and can improve your rate.

Question 3

Do bank statement loans cost more than conventional?

Accepted Answer

Yes — rates run higher than conventional loans. That's the trade-off for skipping traditional income docs. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.

Question 4

Can I use a bank statement loan for an STR in Yucca Valley?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for a primary residence. For a pure investment property, a DSCR loan usually works better.

Question 5

What if my deposits are inconsistent month to month?

Accepted Answer

Lenders average all 12 or 24 months. One slow month won't kill the deal — but a pattern of low deposits will.

Question 6

Does SRK CAPITAL offer bank statement loans in San Bernardino County?
