In a traditional mortgage application process, a lender uses an applicant’s W-2 form to ensure that the applicant earns enough income to qualify for the mortgage amount. For non-traditional income earners, this poses a serious issue. Self-employed workers don’t receive W-2s, and therefore have none to pass along as proof of income. Without this proof of income, a self-employed worker is unable to qualify for a loan.

Fortunately, some lenders offer an alternative mortgage type for those without W-2s known as bank statement loans.

A bank statement loan in Kentucky is a type of non-QM mortgage, meaning it isn’t backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Kentucky bank statement loans are not qualified using a W-2 as proof of income. Instead, a lender offering a bank statement loan will use the past 12-24 months of bank statements as income verification. This may include personal accounts, business accounts, or both. The lender will check to see if enough money is coming in to reasonably pay the proposed mortgage amount within the terms of the mortgage.

Borrowers who may benefit from a bank statement loan include:

• Business owners
• Freelancers
• Gig workers
• Independent contractors
• Entrepreneurs
• Retirees

Bank statement mortgages in Kentucky can be a lifesaver for the self-employed. Without the option of bank statement loans, many potential borrowers may never be able to purchase the home of their dreams.

Advantages of bank statement loans in KY include:

• Accessibility to non-traditional earners: Bank statement loans open the doors to anyone whose true income isn’t represented on their tax returns.
• Additional flexibility in terms of credit score: Traditional mortgages often require high credit scores to qualify for ideal terms. Bank statement loans in KY may be obtained with below-average credit scores, with some lenders approving scores as low as 620.
• Higher loan limits: With Griffin Funding, borrowers can get up to $20 million in financing when using a bank statement purchase loan.
• Purchase different types of properties: Wth bank statement loans, you’re not limited to purchasing a primary residence. You can use this type of financing to purchase a second home or investment property.

We offer several bank statement loan options in Kentucky. In addition to purchase loans, we also offer bank statement home equity loans and bank statement cash-out refinance loans for those looking to tap into their home equity. For those looking to buy, we offer the following options:

• Personal bank statement loans: These are Kentucky bank statement loans that use 12-24 months of bank statements from your personal bank account to verify your income. With personal bank statement loans, we count 100% of deposits into your account as income.
• Business bank statement loans: Business bank statement loans use your business bank statements to verify your income instead of relying on your personal accounts. In the case of business bank statement loans in KY, we count 50% of deposits into your account as income.
• P&L Loans: P&L loans, or profit and loss loans, use 12-24 months of profit and loss statements to verify your income, rather than your bank statements. We will consider your P&L net income as your total income in this case. Please note that these statements must be prepared by a CPA or Enrolled Agent.
• 6 Month SOFR bank statement loan: Those who cannot qualify for a bank statement loan based on income may benefit from a 6 month SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) bank statement loan. This type of loan is qualified based on bank statements alone, rather than their associated income, and the rate is adjusted every 6 months based on the 30-day average SOFR index. A 6 month SOFR Kentucky bank statement loan can be advantageous to people who take significant deductions against their business.
