Mountain House attracts a lot of entrepreneurs and remote business owners. Many can't qualify with a W-2 — and bank statement loans exist for exactly that reason.
This is a Non-QM loan. That means it falls outside conventional guidelines. Lenders look at 12 to 24 months of deposits instead of tax returns.

Loan Type
Lenders typically want a 620-680 credit score minimum. Some go lower — but pricing gets worse fast below 660.
Down payment requirements usually start at 10%. Expect 20% if your credit or cash flow profile is thinner.
Most retail banks don't offer bank statement loans. This is a wholesale product — you find it through a broker, not a bank branch.
At SRK CAPITAL, we work with 200+ wholesale lenders. Several specialize in Non-QM. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
The biggest mistake self-employed borrowers make: assuming their tax returns tell the right story. They often don't. Bank statements usually show much stronger income.
Lenders average your monthly deposits — then apply an expense ratio. Business accounts typically use a 50% ratio. Personal accounts use 100%. This matters when choosing which statements to submit.
If you receive 1099s, a 1099 Loan might qualify you at a better rate. If you own rentals, a DSCR Loan prices the property — not you.
P&L Statement Loans are similar but use a CPA-prepared summary. Some lenders accept those alongside bank statements for a stronger file.
Mountain House is a planned community in San Joaquin County. It's grown fast, partly because of buyers priced out of the Bay Area.
Many of those buyers are business owners. Bank statement loans are a practical fit here — especially for buyers relocating from higher-cost markets.
Most lenders require 12 months minimum. 24 months gives you a stronger file and can improve your rate.
Yes. Personal statements often produce higher qualifying income because lenders apply a 100% deposit ratio.
Yes — Non-QM loans carry higher rates than conventional products. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Most lenders require 2 years of self-employment. Some allow 1 year with strong compensating factors.
Yes, as long as the loan amount stays within what your deposits support. San Joaquin County loan limits apply for conforming products, but bank statement loans are Non-QM and follow lender guidelines.
