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.
