Bank Statement Loan

A bank statement loan is a type of non-qualified mortgage loan. It is a great option for individuals to apply for a mortgage without having to prove their income via pay stubs, W-2s or tax returns. Bank statement loans can be useful for self-employed, independent contractors and other borrowers with inconsistent incomes. However, since a bank statement loan is a type of non-qualified mortgage, borrower may end up paying a higher interest rate and making a larger down payment.

Today, millions of people work for themselves as self-employed professionals, contract workers, entrepreneurs and/or small business owners. Bank statement loans are an excellent alternative for such individuals. They use a borrowers' business or personal bank account statements instead of a W2 to validate the borrower's income and determine their ability to repay the mortgage.
