Bank Statement Guide

Can I Refinance With a Bank Statement Loan?

Yes — many Non-QM programs let self-employed homeowners refinance using 12–24 months of deposits for income, whether you want a rate-and-term reset or cash-out for business or personal goals.

When a Bank Statement Refi Makes Sense

Self-employed homeowners often refinance into Non-QM when agency income math no longer fits.

How We Run Your Refinance Numbers

Ryan & Steve average eligible deposits, apply the program factor, then overlay LTV grids for rate-and-term vs. cash-out on your occupancy type.

We also check payoff, closing costs, and whether conventional or FHA streamline options still beat Non-QM before you pay fees to switch.

If cash-out is the goal, we size max proceeds against credit and equity so you know the realistic wire — not a marketing number.

Refinance prep list

  • — 12–24 months consecutive bank statements
  • — Current mortgage statement and payoff intent
  • — HOA, insurance, and tax estimates for PITIA
  • — Goal: rate drop, term change, or cash-out amount

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I refinance with a bank statement loan?

Yes — many Non-QM bank statement programs offer rate-and-term and cash-out refinances. You still qualify on 12–24 months of deposits instead of tax-return AGI. Guidelines vary by investor and occupancy.

What is a rate-and-term refinance?

You replace your current mortgage primarily to change the rate or term — without taking large cash out beyond allowed closing costs and limited cash back. LTV limits are usually more flexible than cash-out.

Do I need tax returns to refinance?

Not for the income calc on a bank statement refinance. You still provide statements, ID, asset docs, and property paperwork. Some investors may request tax returns for other reasons — we confirm before you apply.

How much equity do I need?

Depends on rate-and-term vs. cash-out, occupancy, and credit. Primary rate-and-term often allows higher LTVs than cash-out or investment refinances. We run the grid against your appraisal estimate.
