If you run a business, contract, or freelance in Wood County, a conventional lender's reliance on tax returns can work against you. Bank statement loans count your actual cash flow — often 50% of business deposits or 100% of personal — to get you qualified. Lenders count 12–24 months of deposits — often 50% of business or 100% of personal — as income. Whether your business is in Quitman or elsewhere in Wood County, we can turn your deposits into buying power.
Who qualifies in Wood 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
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.
Jumbo loans without tax returns
Above the conforming limit — $832,750 in most Texas counties for 2026 — bank statement jumbo programs keep working. Expect larger down payments and deeper reserves than smaller loans, but the core trade holds: your deposits, not your post-write-off taxable income, set your buying power.
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.
A 1099 loan qualifies contractors and gig workers using their 1099 forms instead of tax returns, often counting 90–100% of gross 1099 earnings. It's a great fit if most of your income comes on 1099s.
Will moving money between my accounts hurt my application?
It can muddy the file. Transfers between your own accounts get excluded so they aren't double-counted, and frequent overdrafts or NSFs are red flags. Keep deposits clean and consistent in the months before applying.
Can I refinance with a bank statement loan?
Yes — you can refinance to lower your rate or take cash out, subject to Texas's 80% cash-out limit on a primary residence.
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.
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.
