12 vs. 24 months of statements
Lenders accept either 12 or 24 months of personal or business statements. Twelve months gets you to the finish line faster, while 24 months smooths out seasonal swings and often produces a higher, more defensible qualifying income.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 a DSCR loan for investors?
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.
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.
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.
