Owner-occupied commercial financing

Bank Statement Commercial Real Estate Loans

Alternative owner-occupied financing that uses business bank deposits — not tax returns — to evaluate your ability to repay. Built for self-employed owners whose tax returns don't fully reflect what the business actually generates.

Program overview

Qualify on what the business deposits, not what the tax return shows.

Many self-employed business owners write off enough legitimate expenses that their tax returns understate actual cash flow — which can make a conventional bank decline a deal that easily supports the debt. Bank statement financing solves this by qualifying the loan using 12 consecutive months of business bank deposits instead of tax returns, giving a truer picture of what the business can support. We evaluate the deposits, structure the request, and place it with a correspondent lender whose bank-statement program fits the transaction.

What These Loans Can Finance

Owner-Occupied Purchases

Purchase commercial property that your business will occupy, using bank deposits instead of tax returns to qualify.

Refinance & Cash-Out

Refinance an existing owner-occupied property or pull cash out for the business, still qualifying on deposit history.

Built for Self-Employed Borrowers

Designed for business owners whose tax returns are optimized for a lower tax bill rather than showing maximum qualifying income.

No Tax-Return Underwriting

Twelve months of business bank statements replace tax returns, K-1s, and W-2 income documentation.
