Smarter financing for self-employed borrowers.

If you’re self-employed and tired of traditional income paperwork, this program qualifies you on your bank deposits instead. No tax returns, no W-2s, no pay stubs — just your bank statements.

Why Buyers Choose It

  • No tax returns. Income is drawn from your 12 most recent bank statements, not your IRS filings.
  • Built for the self-employed. A fit for owners, freelancers, consultants, gig workers, and contractors.
  • Business or personal accounts. Either works; business accounts apply an expense ratio (typically 50%).
  • Purchase, refinance, or cash-out. Buy a home, lower your rate, or tap equity for the business or debt consolidation.
  • Competitive terms. Fixed and adjustable options, loan amounts up to $5 million, high LTVs, and no PMI.
