Qualify on deposits, not tax returns, in Knox County

If you run a business, contract, or freelance in Knox 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. Whether your business is in Benjamin or elsewhere in Knox County, we can turn your deposits into buying power.

Who qualifies in Knox County

Self-employed 2+ years (1–2 years may work with experience)
12–24 months of bank statements
620+ credit and 10%%+ down
Roughly 50%% of monthly deposits counted as income

Realtors: qualify on your commissions

Agents deduct heavily — mileage, marketing, MLS dues, splits — so the net income a conventional lender sees rarely reflects real earnings. Bank statement loans count your commission deposits, and 1099 loans count 90-100% of your gross 1099 — two clean paths to the home you've been selling everyone else.

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy an investment property?

Yes. Bank statement and DSCR loans can finance primary homes, second homes, and investment properties. Note Texas caps cash-out refinances on a primary residence at 80% of value.

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 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 credit score do I need?

Many programs start around 620–660. A higher score unlocks better rates and lower down payments, but strong, consistent deposits carry a lot of weight too.

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.

I was denied a conventional mortgage — now what?

Get the written denial reason first. If it's income or DTI related, your write-offs were probably the culprit, and a bank statement, 1099, P&L, or DSCR loan may approve the same file on real cash flow.
