Fillmore sits in the Santa Clara River Valley — agricultural roots, small-town feel, and a growing base of self-employed residents.
Many business owners and contractors here can't show a W-2. Bank statement loans exist exactly for that situation.

Lenders use 12 to 24 months of bank statements to calculate your income. Personal or business accounts both work, depending on the lender.
Most programs want a 640+ credit score and 10-20% down. Rates are higher than conventional — that's the tradeoff for flexible income verification. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Bank statement loans are non-QM products. Not every lender offers them — you won't find these at your corner bank.
At SRK CAPITAL, we work with 200+ wholesale lenders, including several strong non-QM shops. We shop across them to find the best program fit for your income structure.
The biggest mistake self-employed borrowers make: applying at a retail bank first. They get denied, then think homeownership is off the table.
Business account deposits need an expense factor applied — usually 50% for sole proprietors, sometimes higher. Know that going in. It affects how much income the lender credits you.
If you get 1099s, a 1099 loan might qualify you at a higher income than bank statements. Worth running both scenarios.
Own rental property? A DSCR loan lets the property's rent income do the qualifying — your personal income doesn't matter at all.
Fillmore has a strong agricultural and trade community. Many residents run farms, small businesses, or do seasonal contract work — income that rarely looks clean on a tax return.
That's exactly who bank statement loans were designed for. If your deposits are consistent and your accounts are healthy, lenders can work with that picture.
No — personal accounts work too. Business accounts require an expense factor adjustment, so the lender counts only a portion of deposits as income.
Yes, some programs accept 12 months. Lenders typically offer better rates with 24 months because it shows more income history.
Yes, expect higher rates than a standard conventional loan. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Most bank statement programs want a 640 minimum. Higher scores get better rates and terms.
Inconsistent deposits make qualification harder. Lenders want to see a stable deposit pattern across the full statement period.
That's exactly why this loan exists. Lenders ignore your tax returns entirely — your deposits tell the income story.
