How do bank statement loans work?
With bank statement loans, the lender uses bank statements to analyze a borrower's income instead of using standard documentation. Lenders that offer bank statement loan programs will look at a borrower's bank over a 12 to 24 month time period to determine the borrower's net income, which is the amount of money earned after the borrower has paid taxes and business-related expenses. Here’s a blog that helps explain this more.
What are the requirements for a bank statement loan?

How do I qualify for a bank statement loan?
The qualifications for a bank statement loan may vary by lender. But in general, a borrower is required to have at least two years of self-employed income and business experience.
