A Bank statement loan is a type of home loan that doesn’t require w2s or tax returns for income verification.

It’s a loan program perfect for self-employed borrowers who can’t qualify with a traditional conventional loan or borrowers who don’t have a steady income.

Best for self employed borrowers

When you’re self-employed, you may not be able to show net income on tax returns, or provide pay stubs when you apply for a mortgage. This makes it difficult to qualify for a traditional home loan.

Our bank statement program also known as Non-Qm loan allows you to qualify without having to provide tax returns or pay stubs. We look at your bank statements to detemine what your income is.
