Non-QM · Self-employed

Bank-statement loans for the self-employed.

If you own the business, a tax return can make you look smaller than you are. Bank-statement programs use deposits instead.

Licensed lender and broker. No rate, approval, or timeline guarantees.

Purchasing a home is exciting — and if you are self-employed, run multiple gigs, or write off everything that is legal to write off, a conventional file can stall on paper losses. Forte Financial uses 12- and 24-month personal and business bank statements to show income and ability to repay.

How it works

  • Qualify on bank statements instead of (or alongside) tax returns, depending on the program.
  • Multiple personal and business accounts can be considered.
  • Loan amounts on these programs can go as high as $3 million, subject to credit, assets, and property.
  • Available in our licensed states: CT, NY, NJ, MA, PA, FL, SC, NC, and TX.
  • Many bank-statement programs do not require monthly mortgage insurance. That depends on the guideline, not a promise on every file.

Who this is for

Business owners, 1099 contractors, people with K-1s, and anyone whose accountant is doing their job well. We also work alternative-documentation files when tax returns show a loss that the bank statements do not.

This is not a guaranteed rate, approval, or timeline. Self-employed and Non-QM loans are underwritten to investor guidelines that change.
