In this short video, Snr Loan Officer George Diamantakis discusses a type of non-qualified mortgage loan called a "bank statement loan". What is it? What profile of home buyer does it fit?

We have another product, which is a bank statement product. And this is more of "not a 1099 earner"; it's more of a person who owns a business and takes revenue in. So the 12-month bank statement, 24-month bank statement, we have a 3-month bank statement.

What we do is, we average the deposits in that business bank account that are coming in through business deposits. And then we take an average of the monthly, right?

So if you have a contractor who has a bunch of employees, they have a really high expense factor because they have payroll, they're buying supplies typically, um, and so forth. So their expense would be a little higher. So if they're showing, I don't know, $200,000 a month on average in deposits, but a portion of that is obviously coming out for supplies, payroll, and so forth, we'll use a higher expense factor of 85%.

And then knowing that they have all these expenses, but 85% on 200 grand is $30,000 a month for that person in order to, I'm sorry. It leaves us with 15%, uh, income. 15% income is $30,000 a month on 200 grand. And that's a big, that's a big number. So when you take that and try to claim the taxes on it, that ends up costing them a ton of money on their tax returns.

Now, if you have a contractor, I'm gonna use the same thing, but they're not a general contractor, they're a subcontractor. Now it's a little different because they're not buying the product, they're just sub to do the work, and then they're able to use a lesser expense factor. So that 200 grand, let's say that person's a big subcontractor, you might be using a hundred thousand a month because we're using 50% expense, which is really good.

Bank statement loans are creative financial products fitting the needs of specific types of home buyers who wouldn't otherwise qualify for a traditional mortgage like an FHA loan. Cliffco Mortgage Bankers offers multiple types of non-QM loans in the Long Island NY real estate market, and in some other States, including CT, NJ, PA, TX and FL.
