Bank Statement / DSCR / Profit & Loss
Secure home financing without traditional income documentation. A Bank Statement Mortgage allows self-employed individuals or business owners to qualify for home financing without traditional income documentation like W-2s or tax returns. Instead, lenders review 12–24 months of personal or business bank statements to verify income. This loan is ideal for those with non-traditional income and functions similarly to a conventional mortgage, with fixed monthly payments over a set term.
