Bank statement loans in Erath County, Texas

If you run a business, contract, or freelance in Erath County, a conventional lender's reliance on tax returns can work against you. Bank statement loans count your actual cash flow, often 50% of business deposits or 100% of personal, to get you qualified. If most of your income is on 1099s, a 1099 loan can count roughly 90-100% of it instead. Whether your business is in Stephenville or elsewhere in Erath County, we can turn your deposits into buying power.

Your write-offs stop working against you

The deductions that lower your tax bill also lower the income a conventional lender sees, which is why so many business owners get under-qualified or denied. A bank-statement loan flips that: your real deposits, not your write-off-reduced taxable income, drive your approval.

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.

DSCR loans for real estate investors

Buying a rental? A DSCR loan qualifies you on the property's cash flow instead of your personal income, no tax returns, no pay stubs. With interest-only options and entity (LLC) eligibility, it's the go-to for investors growing a portfolio.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are bank statement loan rates higher?

Usually somewhat higher (often about 0.5%-2% over conventional) because they don't fit standard guidelines. There's no monthly PMI, and the real comparison is to being denied conventionally, many borrowers refinance later.

What is an asset depletion loan?

A non-QM program that converts verified liquid assets into monthly qualifying income, commonly assets divided over a set number of months. It suits retirees, business sellers, and high-net-worth borrowers without paychecks.

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.

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 DSCR ratio do lenders want?

A DSCR of 1.0 means rent covers the full payment; many lenders price best at 1.25 or higher. Some programs allow ratios below 1.0 with stronger down payments and reserves.

Should I use 12 or 24 months of statements?

Both are accepted. Twelve months is faster; 24 months usually produces a more accurate, stronger income figure, especially if your business is seasonal or your monthly deposits swing up and down.
