If you run a business or earn 1099 income in Polk County, a quick check turns your recent deposits into an estimated qualifying income — often far more than your tax return suggests.
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.
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.
Close your rental in an LLC
DSCR loans commonly close in an entity's name, which is why investors love them: liability separation, no personal income docs, and qualification that's just the property's rent divided by its full payment (PITIA). A ratio of 1.0 covers the payment; 1.25+ earns the best pricing.
