How El Paso business owners get mortgage-approved
El Paso's cross-border logistics owners and trades businesses use bank-statement loans to turn real deposits into buying power.
Buying in El Paso or anywhere around West Side, East Side, Northeast, Upper Valley? Deposit-based qualifying works the same across the El Paso region. If you work in military, logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, odds are your tax returns understate your real income — which is the problem this loan solves.
Who qualifies in El Paso
- Self-employed 2+ years (1–2 years can work with industry history)
- No W-2s, no tax returns, no pay stubs required
- 1099 and P&L programs available when statements aren't the best fit
- 100% of personal-account deposits can count as income
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.
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.
Gig income counts — document it right
Uber, DoorDash, Instacart, freelance platforms — lenders aggregate it all as self-employment income. Route payouts into one account, keep your 1099s, and show about two years of history. Bank statement and 1099 loans capture what the apps actually paid you, not what survived your mileage deduction.
