Buying in Killeen or anywhere around Harker Heights, Copperas Cove, Nolanville, Belton? Deposit-based qualifying works the same across the Killeen–Temple region.

DSCR loans for real estate investors
Buying a rental? A DSCR loan qualifies you on the property's cash flow instead of your personal income — no tax returns, no pay stubs. With interest-only options and entity (LLC) eligibility, it's the go-to for investors growing a portfolio.
LLC and S-corp owners: your K-1 isn't the ceiling
Owners who pay themselves modest salaries and leave profit in the business look artificially small on paper. Bank statement programs can use your business account deposits — typically counted around 50%, or higher with a CPA letter documenting your expense ratio — so the company's real cash flow backs your approval.
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.
