When self-employed borrowers are declined. Let us solve it

Banks qualify you using net income after every deduction your tax preparer found to lower your bill, which means the number they use rarely matches what you actually bring home. A profitable year can look weak on paper once depreciation, write offs, and business expenses are factored in, and that gap is what gets strong borrowers declined.

Our lending programs verify self-employed income through bank deposits, profit and loss statements, and other real financial documentation instead of a tax return alone. This underwriting flexibility helps self-employed borrowers finance their primary home, vacation home or rental properties that a strict local bank would otherwise deny.

See the difference below
Comparison of tax-return qualifying income versus 24-month bank-statement qualifying income and resulting maximum purchase price.
Conventional Loan
1040 Tax-return AGI $82,000
Monthly Income $6,833
Maximum DTI 43%
→ Maximum purchase price $496,375
Non-QM Loan
12 months bank statements deposits $160,000
Monthly Income (after 15% expense factor): $11,333 ($13,333 × 0.85)
Maximum DTI 50%
→ Maximum purchase price $843,750

Sample scenario above assumes a 20-percent down payment, 6.50% interest rate. Your qualifying income may vary based on other factors..
