Self-employed in Cass County? Your tax write-offs shouldn't keep you from buying a home. A bank statement loan qualifies you on 12–24 months of real deposits instead of tax returns, so Cass County business owners can finance the home they can actually afford. If most of your income is on 1099s, a 1099 loan can count roughly 90–100% of it instead. We serve self-employed buyers from the county seat of Linden to communities across Cass County.

Roughly 50%% of monthly deposits counted as income
Texas's 80% cash-out rule
Texas homestead law caps cash-out refinances on a primary residence at 80% of the home's value — you must keep at least 20% equity. It applies to every loan type, including bank-statement loans, so plan your cash-out around that ceiling.
Primary, second home, or investment
These loans aren't just for primary residences — second homes and investment properties qualify too. Pair a bank-statement loan for your own home with a DSCR loan for rentals and you can keep growing without ever showing a tax return.
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.
A DSCR loan qualifies real estate investors on a property's rental cash flow instead of personal income — no tax returns or pay stubs. It's ideal for rentals, cash-out refinances, and growing a portfolio.
Do I need cash reserves?
Usually yes — many non-QM programs require about 3 to 12 months of PITI (principal, interest, taxes, insurance) in reserves, with larger loans requiring more.
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 I buy an investment property?
Yes. Bank statement and DSCR loans can finance primary homes, second homes, and investment properties. Note Texas caps cash-out refinances on a primary residence at 80% of value.
Who is a bank statement loan best for?
Business owners, 1099 contractors, realtors, gig workers, and freelancers whose tax write-offs shrink their reported income but whose deposits show strong, steady cash flow.
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.
