Conventional vs. Bank Statement loans: The math might surprise you

Most buyers assume a standard Conventional loan is always the cheapest option. But if you are self-employed or a business owner, a No Income Verification (Bank Statement) loan can actually be easier, faster, and save you money!
Let us break down the math on a $450,000 home:
Conventional Loan (5% Down): You must show 1–2 years of high net income on your tax returns, which means paying heavy taxes to qualify. Plus, your monthly payment includes mandatory Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI).
👉 Total Monthly Payment: ~$3,800
No Income Verification (10% Down): No tax returns are required—we only look at your gross bank deposits. Best of all, there is NO PMI!
👉 Total Monthly Payment: ~$3,500
You win twice: you do not have to inflate your taxes just to get approved, and you save $300 every single month on your mortgage payment.
