and/or personal account for either a 12 or 24-month period, and then dividing the
total by the same number of months. This method is very effective because it allows
their income to be calculated based on gross deposits. It is important to note that the
final qualifying income for buisnesses deposits is less than direct personal deposits for
services rendered.

Qualifying for a Self-Employed Bank Statement Loan
Bank Statement Loans are utilized by a wide range of self-employed professionals, including
Business owners, Freelance employees, Consultants, Contract workers, Independent
contractors, Sole proprietors, Online retailers, Economy workers, Realtors, Entrepreneurs and
many other types of self-employed people, etc... Being self-employed it can be difficult to obtain
a mortgage. The facts are that most self-employed would agree that their tax returns don't really
show their true income as many tend to write off many expenses over that a W-2 wage earner.
Regardless of what you make for income, tax write-offs and deductions reduce your taxable
income that can affect your debt-to-income ratios. As a result, your net taxable income (after
deductions) may disqualify you for a traditional mortgage for purchasing and/or refinancing !
