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.

Who It’s For

Perfect for:

  • Freelancers, contractors, and gig workers
  • Business owners and consultants
  • Commission-based sales professionals
