Document requirements vary by investor, occupancy, and loan purpose.
Ryan & Steve send a tailored document list matched to your investor, account type, and occupancy before you gather a single PDF.
We review statements for gaps, large deposits, and expense-factor needs so underwriting does not bounce your file for fixable items.
When business accounts are involved, we confirm entity docs and CPA letter requirements upfront — not after two weeks in processing.

Expect 12–24 months of consecutive personal or business bank statements, government ID, asset statements for reserves, and business paperwork such as entity docs or a CPA letter when deposits run through a company account.
Usually no for core qualifying — income comes from deposits, not AGI on returns. Some investors request returns for fraud checks or when business ownership needs verification.
Most investors require official PDF statements downloaded from your bank portal — not phone screenshots. We confirm acceptable formats before you upload.
Deposits that are not ordinary business income need a letter of explanation and supporting proof — contracts, invoices, or transfer records. Undocumented large deposits can be excluded from qualifying income.
Ryan & Steve will send a tailored bank statement checklist matched to your accounts, occupancy, and investor before you upload.
