Hardin County is full of entrepreneurs whose tax returns understate what they really earn. A bank statement mortgage fixes that by underwriting your deposits, not your write-off-reduced taxable income. Real estate investors can use DSCR loans that qualify on a property's rental cash flow alone. Whether your business is in Kountze or elsewhere in Hardin County, we can turn your deposits into buying power.

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.
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.
Yes — it's self-employment income. Lenders aggregate deposits or 1099s across platforms; about two years of history is the norm. Route payouts into one account so every dollar is verifiable.
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.
What is a 1099 loan and how is it different?
A 1099 loan qualifies contractors and gig workers using their 1099 forms instead of tax returns, often counting 90–100% of gross 1099 earnings. It's a great fit if most of your income comes on 1099s.
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.
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.
