Mortgages for Self-Employed & Freelancers - No Tax Returns Required

What Are Bank Statement Loans?

Bank statement loans allow self-employed and business owners to qualify for mortgages based on their bank statements instead of traditional tax returns.

Perfect for:

  • Self-employed professionals (2+ years in business)
  • Freelancers and independent contractors
  • Gig economy workers (Uber, DoorDash, etc.)
  • Business owners with multiple income streams
  • Consultants and contractors
  • Those with non-traditional income sources

How Bank Statement Loans Work

Traditional lenders struggle with self-employed income. Bank statement loans solve this problem by using actual deposits to verify income.

Instead of tax returns, we use:

  • 12-24 months of bank statements (showing regular deposits)
  • Consistent income pattern over time
  • Business license and EIN verification
  • Credit report and score
  • Down payment documentation

Income Calculation:

Average of 24 months bank deposits = Qualifying Income
Example: Month 1-12: $60k, Month 13-24: $72k
Average: $66,000 qualifying income
