Montague County is full of entrepreneurs whose tax returns understate what they really earn. A bank statement mortgage fixes that by underwriting your deposits, not your write-off-reduced taxable income. If most of your income is on 1099s, a 1099 loan can count roughly 90–100% of it instead. From Montague to the surrounding towns, we help Montague County business owners qualify on their deposits.

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.
DSCR loans for real estate investors
Buying a rental? A DSCR loan qualifies you on the property's cash flow instead of your personal income — no tax returns, no pay stubs. With interest-only options and entity (LLC) eligibility, it's the go-to for investors growing a portfolio.
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.
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.
How much of my deposits count as income?
Typically 100% of personal-account deposits, or about 50% of business-account deposits, sometimes adjusted by a CPA expense letter. Roughly $20,000/month in business deposits can support about a $350,000 home.
Do I need tax returns or W-2s?
No. Income is verified from your deposits (or 1099s/P&L), so no tax returns or W-2s are required to document income — just proof of self-employment and consistent statements.
What about jumbo loans for the self-employed?
Bank statement jumbo programs lend above the conforming limit ($832,750 in most Texas counties for 2026) using deposit-based income — expect larger down payments and deeper reserves than smaller loans.
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.
