Bank Statement Loan

Bank Statement Loans: A Smarter Way for Self-Employed Borrowers to Qualify

Are you self-employed, a small business owner, or an independent contractor with strong income but not-so-simple paperwork? If traditional mortgage requirements don’t reflect your true financial picture, a Bank Statement Loan from Fast Home Path could be the perfect solution.

This loan program is designed for people like you — those who may not show consistent W-2s or tax returns, but have stable, verifiable income through bank deposits. No tax returns required. No hassle. Just smart financing built around your reality.

 

What Is a Bank Statement Loan?

A Bank Statement Loan is a type of non-QM (non-qualified mortgage) that uses your personal or business bank statements — typically from the past 12 to 24 months — to verify your income instead of W-2s, pay stubs, or tax returns.

It’s ideal for:

  • Self-employed professionals

  • Small business owners

  • Freelancers and gig workers

  • Commission-based earners

  • Real estate investors

  • Entrepreneurs with fluctuating income


How It Works

  • ✅ Use 12 or 24 months of bank statements

  • ✅ Income calculated based on deposits (not reported tax income)

  • ✅ Available for purchase, refinance, or cash-out

  • ✅ Primary, second homes, and investment properties eligible

  • ✅ Loan amounts up to jumbo levels in many cases

Instead of penalizing you for write-offs and deductions, we evaluate what really matters — your income flow.
