BANK STATEMENT

HOME LOANS

THE BUSINESS OWNER'S SECRET WEAPON. FINANCE YOUR DREAM HOME USING THE DEPOSIT INCOME FROM YOUR BUSINESS BANK STATEMENTS INSTEAD OF TAX RETURNS.

As a business owner, you work hard, and you deserve to buy your dream home, just like anyone else.  

 

Unfortunately, most banks and credit unions are unable to see your type of income in the same way you do.  They are required to use the taxable portion of the income on your tax returns.  

 

If you're like most successful business owners, you pay tax professionals to keep your tax burden as low as possible.   This is a great strategy...until you try to apply for a traditional home loan.

 

...But it's no longer a problem, because now you've discovered our Bank Statement Loan Program.

 

Using our Bank Statement Mortgage, we count the income that runs through your business bank statements, instead of using your tax returns. This approach gives us a more accurate portrayal of your business' true profitability versus the tax return approach.

 

Other than the income calculation approach, you'll find that our Bank Statement loan program works like every other traditional mortgage you may have experienced.  

 

In fact, it has some added flexibility that you won't find in traditional mortgages. There is no PMI, and best of all, there are no prepayment penalties.

 

Many of our clients use this program to buy their dream home and later decide to refinance it into a traditional loan once they and their tax advisors determine the optimal time.  

 

Essentially, the Bank Statement Loan program allows you to take control and buy a home on your terms.

 

We are proud to support American business owners. We believe in keeping things simple, which is why we provide educational resources and our decades of experience, so you can finance with confidence.  

 

We are your trusted leader in Bank Statement Home Loan financing.

⚙️ HOW DOES A BANK STATEMENT LOAN WORK?

Here's how income is calculated on a Bank Statement Loan:  

1.   We review the most recent 12-24 months of your business bank statements, counting all of the ordinary business deposits.  These are your GROSS DEPOSITS.

2.   Divide the GROSS DEPOSITS by the number of total bank statements being reviewed. (12 or 24) This is called MONTHLY GROSS INCOME.

3.   Multiply the MONTHLY GROSS INCOME x THE BUSINESS OWNER'S PERCENTAGE OF OWNERSHIP (%) in the business.

4.   Multiply this number an EXPENSE FACTOR. We offer two ways to determine business expenses:

OPTION 1

BUSINESS NARRATIVE ANALYSIS:

 

Complete a short business narrative form, explaining your type of business (goods, services or both), industry, number of employees, etc.

Depending on your type of business, we will apply an expense ratio ranging from 15% to 85%.

OPTION 2

EXPENSE RATIO PROVIDED BY A LICENSED TAX PROFESSIONAL

Your tax professional provides a letter specifying the business's current expense ratio as a percentage of the gross annual sales / revenue.  

The lowest acceptable expense ratio is 15%, regardless of the ratio specified in the letter.
