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.
Primary, second home, or investment
These loans aren't just for primary residences — second homes and investment properties qualify too. Pair a bank-statement loan for your own home with a DSCR loan for rentals and you can keep growing without ever showing a tax return.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 DSCR loan for investors?
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.
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.
