Non-warrantable condos: when the building is the problem
Sometimes you qualify and the condo doesn't — too many rentals in the project, pending litigation, one owner holding too many units. Conventional lenders walk away; non-QM lenders underwrite the building on its merits. If a condo deal died over 'warrantability,' there's usually still a loan for it.
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.
12 vs. 24 months of statements
Lenders accept either 12 or 24 months of personal or business statements. Twelve months gets you to the finish line faster, while 24 months smooths out seasonal swings and often produces a higher, more defensible qualifying income.
