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.
Reserves: what lenders want to see
Non-QM programs typically want about 3 to 12 months of PITI — your full monthly payment — sitting in reserves, with larger loans requiring more. Strong reserves can offset a lower score or a thinner deposit history.
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.
