Great question. Many businesses operate with an expense ratio well below 50%. If that's the case, simply provide a letter from a licensed tax professional that states the accurate expense ratio for your business. For example, if your business is operating at a ratio of 30%, then you can multiply the figure in step 4 above by 70%. If it's 25%, then multiply by 75%, and so on...
There are no prepayment penalties for owner occupied and second homes, so the loan can be refinanced if desired, as soon as the applicant qualifies for a traditional home loan. Many of our clients use this program to buy their dream home and decide to refinance it into a traditional loan once they and their tax advisers determine the optimal time. It allows the business owner to take control and buy a home on their terms.

Some lenders may offer this type of program, but few of them offer the educational resources and experience, making us a trusted leader in Bank Statement Home Loan financing.
Our bank statement loan program solves this problem. Rather than using tax returns, we allow the business owner the ability to use the ordinary business deposit income in their bank statements as the income on the new loan. We find that it often provides a more accurate portrait of the applicant's true income profile and business profitability.
And that figure becomes the monthly income for your new loan.
