Mortgage guidance for Florida self-employed borrowers and business owners whose tax-return income may not tell the full cash-flow story.
A bank-statement mortgage is an alternative income-documentation path that can be useful when a self-employed borrower's taxable net income does not fully reflect business cash flow. Participating lenders may analyze eligible deposits over a recent statement period instead of relying only on W-2 or tax-return net income.
