Qualify for a mortgage using your bank statements instead of traditional income documentation. Perfect for self-employed borrowers, freelancers, and business owners who deserve homeownership.
No obligation. No credit check to get started.
Washington's housing market is anchored by the Seattle-Bellevue tech corridor — one of the highest-wage and highest-priced metros in the country. King, Snohomish, and Pierce are designated high-balance counties, expanding conforming limits well above the national baseline.
A mortgage program designed for self-employed borrowers who may not be able to verify income through traditional documentation.
Instead of tax returns and W-2s, lenders review 12 to 24 months of personal or business bank statements to calculate your qualifying income.
Many self-employed individuals write off significant business expenses on their tax returns, which can make their taxable income appear lower than what they actually earn. Bank statement loans solve this problem by looking at your actual cash flow and deposits rather than your adjusted gross income.
This program is ideal for freelancers, small business owners, independent contractors, gig economy workers, and anyone whose tax returns don't fully reflect their true earning power.
Designed specifically for borrowers whose income doesn't fit the traditional mold.
Skip the hassle of complex tax documents. Bank statements tell the story of your income.
