⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a wonderful experience working with Alisa Bailey at Fairway Home Mortgage! As a real estate agent, I truly appreciate a loan officer who communicates well, stays on top of everything, and helps make the closing process as smooth as possible. Alisa was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and a pleasure to work with throughout the transaction. Having a dependable lender makes such a difference for both the buyers and the agents involved. I highly recommend Alisa to anyone looking to purchase a home and would absolutely love to work with her again!

It may be helpful to compare both standard and bank statement loan options. Your Fairway loan officer can review how you earn income, evaluate your financial profile and help identify the financing option that may best fit your needs.

Yes. Bank statement loans are generally categorized as non-qualified mortgages, or non-QM loans.

Not necessarily. Some bank statement loan programs may allow eligible borrowers to qualify without using tax returns to document income. Other documentation may still be required, depending on the program and your financial situation.

Credit requirements vary by loan program and may also depend on factors such as the property, down payment, available reserves, and your overall financial profile.

A standard mortgage typically verifies income using documents such as pay stubs, W-2s, and tax returns. A bank statement loan may use eligible deposits shown on your personal or business bank statements to help calculate qualifying income.
