What Do I Need to Qualify?
Bank statement loan requirements vary by lender, but lenders will typically review:
- Your personal or business bank statements for the past 12 to 24 months
- Your self-employment history
- The consistency and source of your deposits
- Your credit history and credit scores
- Your current monthly debts
- Your down payment or available equity
- Your funds for closing and financial reserves
- The property type and intended occupancy
Many programs require at least 10% to 20% down, although requirements vary based on credit, loan amount, property type, and the strength of the overall application.
