Bell County realtors, contractors, and small-business owners use bank statement loans to turn strong deposit history into buying power — no tax returns required, down payments often starting at 10%. Lenders count 12–24 months of deposits — often 50% of business or 100% of personal — as income. We serve self-employed buyers from the county seat of Belton to communities across Bell County.
Who qualifies in Bell County
Self-employed 2+ years (1–2 years may work with experience)
12–24 months of bank statements
620+ credit and 10%%+ down
Roughly 50%% of monthly deposits counted as income
LLC and S-corp owners: your K-1 isn't the ceiling
Owners who pay themselves modest salaries and leave profit in the business look artificially small on paper. Bank statement programs can use your business account deposits — typically counted around 50%, or higher with a CPA letter documenting your expense ratio — so the company's real cash flow backs your approval.
Reserves: what lenders want to see
Non-QM programs typically want about 3 to 12 months of PITI — your full monthly payment — sitting in reserves, with larger loans requiring more. Strong reserves can offset a lower score or a thinner deposit history.
How much you'll put down
Most bank-statement programs start around 10% down, with better pricing at 15–20%+. If your credit or deposit history is on the lighter side, a larger down payment is often the lever that gets you approved.
Get the written denial reason first. If it's income or DTI related, your write-offs were probably the culprit, and a bank statement, 1099, P&L, or DSCR loan may approve the same file on real cash flow.
What is a P&L loan?
A profit-and-loss loan lets you qualify using a CPA-prepared P&L statement, sometimes with fewer bank statements. It's another non-QM path when bank-statement deposits alone don't tell the full story.
How much down payment do I need?
Most bank statement programs start around 10%, with stronger pricing at 15–20%+. A larger down payment can offset a lower credit score or thinner deposit history.
Can gig income from Uber or DoorDash qualify?
Yes — it's self-employment income. Lenders aggregate deposits or 1099s across platforms; about two years of history is the norm. Route payouts into one account so every dollar is verifiable.
What is a bank statement loan?
It's a mortgage that qualifies self-employed borrowers on 12–24 months of bank deposits instead of tax returns. If your write-offs make your taxable income look low, this counts your real cash flow instead.
How much of my deposits count as income?
Typically 100% of personal-account deposits, or about 50% of business-account deposits, sometimes adjusted by a CPA expense letter. Roughly $20,000/month in business deposits can support about a $350,000 home.
