Question 1

Can I use a bank statement loan to buy in Weed if I'm self-employed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you've been self-employed for at least 2 years and have 12-24 months of statements, this loan is built for you.

Question 2

Do lenders count every deposit in my bank statements?

Accepted Answer

No. Transfers, loans, and one-time windfalls are typically excluded. Lenders look at business income deposits only.

Question 3

What credit score do I need for a bank statement loan?

Accepted Answer

Most lenders start at 640. A higher score gets you better pricing — rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.

Yes, typically. Non-QM products carry higher rates than conventional loans. The tradeoff is qualifying when traditional programs won't work.

It can. Some non-QM lenders avoid rural markets. We focus on lenders actively funding deals in Siskiyou County.
