Qualify on deposits, not tax returns, in Kaufman County
If you run a business, contract, or freelance in Kaufman 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. Many borrowers buy now and refinance into a conventional loan once their tax picture strengthens. Our specialists work with self-employed borrowers throughout Kaufman County, including Kaufman and nearby areas.

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.
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.
Primary, second home, or investment
These loans aren't just for primary residences, second homes and investment properties qualify too. Pair a bank-statement loan for your own home with a DSCR loan for rentals and you can keep growing without ever showing a tax return.
