Detailed explanation

Self-employed borrowers may qualify using standard documentation or, where available and permitted, alternative documentation such as eligible bank-statement programs.

Program names describe broad frameworks, not an approval or exact offer. Eligibility, pricing, documentation, property rules, lender overlays, and state availability must be confirmed for the specific transaction.

What this means for you

Program labels do not eliminate verification. Review business history, income method, deposits, expenses, reserves, property, and lender requirements for the specific option.
