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.
A bridge to a conventional refinance
Many borrowers use a bank-statement loan to buy now, then refinance into a conventional loan later once two years of stronger tax returns are on file. You get the home today and keep the door open to a lower rate down the road.
P&L-only loan options
Some self-employed borrowers qualify with a CPA-prepared profit-and-loss statement, sometimes paired with a couple months of statements. A P&L loan is another non-QM path when your deposits alone don't capture the whole picture.
