Cities we serve in Greater Houston
Asset depletion: your portfolio is your paycheck
Retirees and business sellers can qualify by converting verified assets into income — commonly eligible assets divided over a set number of months. Cash counts fully, securities and retirement funds at a discount. No employment, no tax returns: the balance sheet does the talking.
Denied? The documentation was wrong, not the income
Most self-employed denials trace to one cause: the underwriter used post-write-off taxable income. The same file re-documented with 12-24 months of deposits, gross 1099s, or a CPA-prepared P&L often approves. Bring your denial letter — it tells the next loan officer exactly what to solve.
12 vs. 24 months of statements
Lenders accept either 12 or 24 months of personal or business statements. Twelve months gets you to the finish line faster, while 24 months smooths out seasonal swings and often produces a higher, more defensible qualifying income.
Non-warrantable condos: when the building is the problem
Sometimes you qualify and the condo doesn't — too many rentals in the project, pending litigation, one owner holding too many units. Conventional lenders walk away; non-QM lenders underwrite the building on its merits. If a condo deal died over 'warrantability,' there's usually still a loan for it.
Yes — DSCR loans commonly close in an LLC or other entity, which many investors prefer for liability separation. The property qualifies on its rent versus its full payment (PITIA), not your personal income.
How long do I need to be self-employed?
Typically two years, though one year may work if you have prior experience in the same line of work. We'll help you find the program that fits your timeline.
Who is a bank statement loan best for?
Business owners, 1099 contractors, realtors, gig workers, and freelancers whose tax write-offs shrink their reported income but whose deposits show strong, steady cash flow.
What is a bank statement loan?
It's a mortgage that qualifies self-employed borrowers on 12–24 months of bank deposits instead of tax returns. If your write-offs make your taxable income look low, this counts your real cash flow instead.
Can gig income from Uber or DoorDash qualify?
Yes — it's self-employment income. Lenders aggregate deposits or 1099s across platforms; about two years of history is the norm. Route payouts into one account so every dollar is verifiable.
What is an asset depletion loan?
A non-QM program that converts verified liquid assets into monthly qualifying income — commonly assets divided over a set number of months. It suits retirees, business sellers, and high-net-worth borrowers without paychecks.
What is a 1099 loan and how is it different?
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.
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.
