💵🏦Bank Statement Loans are a type of non-QM (Non-Qualified Mortgage) loan designed for borrowers who may not have traditional income documentation, such as W-2s or tax returns. Instead, lenders use bank statements (usually 12–24 months' worth) to determine the borrower's ability to repay the loan.
🏦Higher credit scores typically mean lower interest rates. A strong score (usually 680+) improves the chances of approval. Lower down payments, Better loan-to-value (LTV) ratios
The choice between a 12-month and a 24-month bank statement loan often depends on the applicant's financial profile and the lender’s specific loan products.💵🏦
A common approach is to use 50% of the total deposits for qualifying income.💰💸
This is slightly higher than conventional loans (where down payments can be as low as 3% to 5%) because bank statement loans are considered higher risk due to the lack of traditional income documentation.💰💸🏦💵
Debt- to-Income (DTI) is still an important factor in determining your eligibility, just like with traditional loans. However, the calculation of DTI may be a bit more flexible due to the nature of the loan 💰💵
💰🏠Closing costs are a key factor in securing a bank statement loan. Borrowers should understand these costs, which can vary, and work with a transparent lender who may offer ways to reduce them. Being prepared helps avoid financial surprises during the home-buying process.💸📝
