Bank statement loans in McLennan County, Texas

McLennan County realtors, contractors, and small-business owners use bank statement loans to turn strong deposit history into buying power — no tax returns required, down payments often starting at 10%. Real estate investors can use DSCR loans that qualify on a property's rental cash flow alone. We serve self-employed buyers from the county seat of Waco to communities across McLennan County.

Who qualifies in McLennan 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

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.

1099 loans for contractors and gig workers

If most of your income arrives on 1099s, a 1099 loan may beat a bank-statement loan — lenders can count roughly 90–100% of your gross 1099 earnings, rather than discounting business deposits by half. It's built for freelancers, consultants, and independent contractors.

Asset depletion: your portfolio is your paycheck

Retirees and business sellers can qualify by converting verified assets into income — commonly eligible assets divided over a set number of months. Cash counts fully, securities and retirement funds at a discount. No employment, no tax returns: the balance sheet does the talking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are bank statement loan rates higher?

Usually somewhat higher (often about 0.5%–2% over conventional) because they don't fit standard guidelines. There's no monthly PMI, and the real comparison is to being denied conventionally — many borrowers refinance later.

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.

How long do I need to be self-employed?

Typically two years, though one year may work if you have prior experience in the same line of work. We'll help you find the program that fits your timeline.

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.

Do I need cash reserves?

Usually yes — many non-QM programs require about 3 to 12 months of PITI (principal, interest, taxes, insurance) in reserves, with larger loans requiring more.

Can I get a mortgage with an ITIN instead of a Social Security number?

Yes. ITIN loans underwrite with your IRS-issued taxpayer ID, typically with 10-20% down and two years of work history. Self-employed ITIN borrowers can often document income with bank statements.
