A bank statement loan simply uses your business or personal bank statements to calculate income. Income tax returns are not required on bank statement loans for self-employed borrowers. Bank statement loans are for self-employed borrowers and not W2 wage earners. Normally, the average of 12 months of bank statement deposit averages is used for qualified income. Withdrawals do not matter. Unlike a traditional mortgage, W-2s, pay stubs, and tax returns are not required. Only your business income shown on your bank statements will count as income for this mortgage product. This is a great tool to use for self-employed borrowers.

Can You Qualify For a Mortgage If You Are Self-Employed?

Many times, self-employed borrowers utilize write-offs on their Federal tax returns filed with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). While many lending institutions advertise that they offer Non-QM and bank statement mortgage loans, it is important to select a loan officer who is familiar with these loan products. Gustan Cho Associates fund NON-QM and bank statement mortgage loans every month. We are experts in the bank statement loan guidelines and know how to get these loans to the finish line as fast as possible.

What Are The Different Types of Non-QM Mortgage Loan Options?

We have numerous outlets for our Non-QM and bank statement mortgage loans. Each with slightly different qualifications. Credit scores may go down all the way to 580 and still utilize a bank statement loan. Just like any other mortgage, the credit score does have an impact on the interest rate. Higher the credit score, lower the interest rate.

All of our bank statement mortgage options require a minimum of 10% down payment. Since we complete so many bank statement loans, we have an underwriting team who will calculate your bank statement, and income upfront before you are issued a pre-approval. This way, the amount of income underwriting will use for the loan will not change during the mortgage process. This will allow you to confidently shop for a home within your price range and budget.

Does Credit Scores Determine Down Payment on Home Purchase?

The borrower’s credit scores will determine the down payment requirement on non-QM and bank statement mortgage loans. The higher the borrowers’ credit scores, the less the down payment is required. Below is a general overview of the credit score versus the down payment requirement on non-QM and bank statement mortgage loans. However, every lender have there own non-QM and bank statement mortgage guidelines on credit score versus down payment.

  • Credit scores 580-599 will require at least a 20% down payment
  • Credit scores 600- 659 require at least a 15% down payment
  • Credit scores 660 and above only require a 10% down payment

The higher the borrower’s credit scores, the less the risk for the lender. The less the mortgage lender has the lower the down payment requirement.

How Do Mortgage Lenders Underwrite Non-QM Loans

For example when a bank statement loan is used. In this example, we will utilize a borrower’s name, Mark. Mark is a self-employed borrower who runs a landscaping business. When Mark files his IRS tax returns, he utilizes almost every right off he can. So, in the eyes of the IRS, he does not make much income. The debt-to-income ratios will not allow Mark to qualify for a conventional or FHA mortgage. Mark is looking to purchase a home because he is tired of renting.

Mark shows plenty of business-related deposits on his bank statements over the past 12 months. Mark uses a separate bank account for business and personal items. Mark has a credit score of 643. In this example, Mark will need a 15% down payment. This is not a problem. Mark will sit down with his CPA and decide if paying a higher interest rate on the mortgage is saving him more money versus claiming more income to the IRS.

If Marc chooses, he can file his next two years of tax returns showing higher income. While this may result in paying more income tax, he will soon be able to refinance into your standard conventional or FHA mortgage and have a lower interest rate. It is important to work closely with your tax professional to see where this breakeven points land.

Terms Of Non-QM And Bank Statement Mortgage Loans

The majority of Non-QM and bank statement mortgage loans are structured on a 5/1 or 7/1 adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM). This gives you a full five or seven years to complete a refinance before the rate starts to adjust. Many clients utilize this time frame to file stronger tax returns to refinance into a lower rate. You may also increase the rate slightly to turn the bank statement loan into a 30-year fixed mortgage. Depending on your business write-offs and advice from your tax professional, will determine which option is best for you.
