Our experienced mortgage advisors will walk you through the best mortgage loan program that will fit your specific scenario.
Non-QM stands for Non-Qualified Mortgage. These loans do not follow the strict documentation rules of conventional mortgages, which makes them a fit for self-employed borrowers, investors, and others with non-traditional income. Non-QM does not mean high risk; it means flexible qualification.
Yes. Many of our self-employed clients qualify using bank statements or a profit and loss statement instead of tax returns, so business write-offs do not work against you.
For most of our bank statement programs, yes. We review 12 to 24 months of deposits to calculate your qualifying income. No tax returns or W-2s needed.
Yes, through a DSCR loan. We qualify the loan based on whether the property's rent covers the payment, so your personal income often is not part of the equation.
Often, yes. Several Non-QM programs allow financing with little or no waiting period after a credit event, while conventional loans may require years.
Non-QM rates are typically a bit higher because the qualification is more flexible. For many borrowers, access to financing now outweighs waiting, and we shop multiple lenders to secure the most competitive pricing available for your profile.
Down payment requirements vary by program and credit profile and are generally higher than minimum conventional options. We will review your scenario and show you the exact figure during your qualification review.
Yes. Our foreign national programs help non-US citizens purchase a home or investment property, often without US credit or income documentation.
Yes. We offer rate-and-term and cash-out refinancing on investment and non-owner-occupied properties through our DSCR and investor programs.
Timelines vary, but many Non-QM loans close within a few weeks. Because we use wholesale lenders and streamlined documentation, the process is often faster than borrowers expect.

The Loan That Finally Solves the Self-Employed Mortgage Problem
If you are a self-employed business owner who has been frustrated trying to qualify for a mortgage because your tax returns show a fraction of what you actually earn Robert Love has a direct message for you. The bank statement loan exists specifically for your situation and it changes everything about how your income gets evaluated.
The Problem With Traditional Mortgage Qualification for Self-Employed Borrowers
Traditional mortgage qualification runs on tax returns. For W-2 employees that works reasonably well because the income on the return reflects what they actually earn. For self-employed borrowers it produces a number that almost always dramatically understates real earnings.
The reason is straightforward. Self-employed business owners legitimately write off business expenses to reduce taxable income. Every deduction that makes sense from a tax strategy standpoint reduces the income figure a traditional lender uses to qualify the borrower. Strong gross earnings, smart tax planning, and a mortgage denial can coexist perfectly without any of them being wrong.
The tax strategy is working exactly as intended. The qualification method is the problem.
How the Bank Statement Loan Actually Works
Instead of qualifying based on tax returns the bank statement loan uses twelve or twenty-four months of business or personal bank statement deposits to calculate income. The deposits tell the real story of what money is actually flowing through the business rather than what remains after every legitimate deduction has been applied.
That means you can keep maximizing your tax strategy and lowering your tax bill while simultaneously qualifying for the home or investment property you actually want. The two goals that traditional lending forces you to choose between are no longer in conflict with each other.
Who This Program Is Built For
Entrepreneurs running their own businesses. Real estate agents whose income varies by production rather than arriving on a salary schedule. Consultants and freelancers whose income documentation does not fit the W-2 mold. Anyone who runs their own show and has watched a traditional lender look at the tax return and stop the conversation there.
Bank statement loans typically come with competitive rates, flexible down payment options, and the ability to close in the borrower's personal name or through an entity depending on what best serves the situation and investing strategy.
If traditional lenders have told you no this may be the loan that finally says yes.
