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.
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.
Denied? The documentation was wrong, not the income
Most self-employed denials trace to one cause: the underwriter used post-write-off taxable income. The same file re-documented with 12-24 months of deposits, gross 1099s, or a CPA-prepared P&L often approves. Bring your denial letter — it tells the next loan officer exactly what to solve.
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.
What about jumbo loans for the self-employed?
Bank statement jumbo programs lend above the conforming limit ($832,750 in most Texas counties for 2026) using deposit-based income — expect larger down payments and deeper reserves than smaller loans.
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.
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.
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.
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.
