Unlocking Homeownership for the Self-Employed: The Bank Statement Loan Program

For self-employed professionals and business owners, proving income through traditional means during the mortgage application process can be a significant hurdle. Tax returns, which are the standard documentation required by many lenders, often do not reflect the true earnings of business owners due to deductions and write-offs. Recognizing this gap, "All Approved Here" offers the Bank Statement Loan Program as a flexible solution to help self-employed individuals achieve their dreams of homeownership.

What is a Bank Statement Loan Program?The Bank Statement Loan Program allows borrowers to use their bank statements instead of tax returns to verify income. This program is designed to assess the cash flow of your business or personal bank account, providing a more accurate representation of your ability to afford a mortgage.

Who Can Benefit?

• Business owners

• Freelancers and contractors

• Anyone without traditional W-2 income who can demonstrate consistent income through bank statements

• Flexible Credit Requirements: Understanding the unique challenges faced by self-employed individuals, this program offers more lenient credit criteria.

How to Get Approved

1. Gather Your Documentation: Prepare your business and/or personal bank statements for the last 12 to 24 months. The more comprehensive your documentation, the smoother the approval process will be.
