How a Bank Statement Programs Works

We can learn a lot about your finances through your bank statements in the past 12-24 months. We know that some clients may have low income reported on their tax statements. This program allows them to apply for a home loan often with bank statements alone, without providing tax returns, W2 statements, paycheck stubs, rental agreements and other paperwork. The application process for a bank statement mortgage has the same goal of any type of loan evaluation: to determine if you are capable and likely to make your payments.

It is important to keep in mind that a bank statement programs may have a higher interest rate than with conventional loans. Borrowers usually also have to provide at least a 20% down payment. At Innovative Mortgage Services, we work closely with a variety of lenders to provide the best rates possible, with fast approvals for your loan. We offer bank statement programs both for home purchase and refinance.

Eligibility for a Bank Statement Programs

The most common type of borrowers who apply for bank statement programs are clients who are self-employed. For these clients, we evaluate personal bank statements and/or business bank statements to evaluate loan worthiness. We can provide bank statement loans to clients who use a shared personal/business account and for those who keep them separate. For some clients, we also evaluate a profit and loss statement, which can be provided from a tax preparer.

Because your bank statement is the primary measure we will use to evaluate your loan, there are a few things to note. First, you should have minimal to no “overdrafts” or “non-sufficient funds” charges on your account. Additionally, it is important that the cash flow in your account is sufficient to make your regular payments and other homeownership expenses. We evaluate each client on a case-by-case basis, so it is important to speak with one of our certified brokers before making any assumptions.
