Bank Statement Loan: Refinance or Cash-Out with No W-2s or Tax Returns

You’ve Built Equity—Now Let’s Help You Access It (Even Without Traditional Proof of Income).
If you’re self-employed, on commission, or earning variable income from contracts or bonuses, you may feel locked out of refinancing. But the truth is: you can still lower your rate, change your loan term, or pull cash out—you just need a more flexible underwriting strategy.
That’s where Flexible Income Refinance Loans come in.
What Is a Flexible Income Refinance Loan?
A Flexible Income Refinance is a Non-QM loan designed to help homeowners refinance using non-traditional income documentation, such as:
- Personal or business bank statements
- 1099s (for contractors or freelancers)
- CPA-prepared profit & loss statements
- Bonus and commission history
- Asset depletion (for retirees or investors)
Whether you’re looking to lower your payment or cash out equity, we’ll help you qualify based on how you actually earn.
Why Refinance with a Flexible Income Loan?
You may want to:
- Lower your monthly mortgage payment
- Switch from ARM to fixed rate
- Pull out equity for renovations or investments
- Pay off high-interest debt
- Consolidate two mortgages into one
All without needing traditional income verification.
What Are the Requirements?
Each program is customized, but generally:
- Credit Score: 620+
- Down Payment: 10%–20%
- Documentation: 12–24 months of income (bank statements, 1099s, or P&L)
- DTI: Flexible but usually under 45%
- Reserves: Often 3–6 months of mortgage payments
We’ll review your income for free and show you multiple loan options side by side.
