Buy your home on your bank statements — not your tax returns.

The loan journey
Three steps, built around how you actually earn.

Who it fits
Made for income that a W-2 can’t explain.
If your tax returns understate what you really bring home, this program was designed with you in mind. A few profiles that tend to be a good fit:
Business owners & LLC members
Especially if you write off aggressively and your net income looks smaller than your cash flow.
1099 contractors & freelancers
Independent income that doesn’t fit the standard employment box lenders expect.
Gig, commission & seasonal earners
Deposits that rise and fall through the year can often still support a qualifying average.
Self-employed professionals & investors
Consultants, tradespeople, and real-estate investors who run their income through their own accounts.
Typically ~2 years self-employed
A roughly two-year track record is common; shorter histories are reviewed case by case.
Credit & down payment still matter
Terms vary with your credit profile and down payment. Scott can walk you through where you stand — no guarantees, just a clear read.
