Bank Statement Loans

Use eligible bank deposits to document income when tax returns do not tell the whole story.

THE OVERVIEW

A financing strategy built for your goals.

For entrepreneurs and independent professionals, tax deductions can make traditional mortgage qualification less representative of cash flow. Bank statement programs use eligible personal or business deposits to assess income under lender rules.

At a glance

  • Alternative to traditional tax-return income review
  • Personal or business statements may qualify
  • Purchase and refinance options

How bank statement loans work

01

How income is calculated

A lender typically reviews a specified period of deposits and applies program-specific expense rules. Transfers and non-income deposits may be excluded.

02

What to prepare

Gather recent bank statements, business information, assets, and property details. Lenders may request additional documentation.

03

Compare costs

We compare rates, fees, down payment, reserves, and expected payment with other available financing options.

Who this may fit

Every situation is different. This program can be a useful starting point for:

  • Business owners
  • Independent contractors
  • Commission-based professionals

Neev can help you compare it with other available options using your actual income, assets, property, and goals.
