Truth About Stated Income Loans | Valor Lending Group
The truth about Stated Income Loans is that if you are a self-employed individual looking to acquire a loan there is no need to look any further because a Stated Income Loan will work for you.
When you are self-employed it may be difficult for you to qualify for a traditional mortgage because of the documentation required by the lender.
Stated income loans were created for self-employed individuals that do not qualify for a traditional mortgage due to the low income on their tax returns. Self-employed individuals use the IRS tax code to write off expenses, however by doing that their income is much lower than the amount needed to qualify for a loan. Investors and banks created the stated income loan program to help self employed individuals buy or refinance their home.
Valor Lending Group works with the very best to help you get the perfect loan that fits your needs.

What Are Stated Income Loans?
These are not the type of loans that were prevalent in the pre-2008 financial crisis, and no longer are the days in which loan applicants can simply state their income on a loan application with virtually no due diligence conducted by the lender.
After the 2008 financial crisis, the sweeping provisions of Dodd-Frank changed the industry substantially, at least in the owner-occupied residential context. Since 2010 Dodd-Frank has required lenders to document a residential borrower’s ability to repay the loan.
Bank statement lenders still want to ensure borrowers can repay their mortgages; they just use bank statements to verify income as opposed to tax returns. Self-employed borrowers are able to document their ability to repay based on business deposits into their personal or business bank accounts, i.e., their true cash flow.
Why Use Stated Income Loans?
1) The Difference
Traditional mortgage lenders require tax returns, W-2s, and paycheck stubs in order to determine monthly income. For salaried and hourly borrowers, the lenders look at gross income for qualifying purposes. But for self-employed borrowers, traditional mortgage lenders look at net income, the adjusted gross income showing on tax returns. This puts self-employed borrowers at a disadvantage because the typical self-employed or 1099 employee will write off as much expense as possible from their gross income on their tax returns to minimize how much they owe once tax season comes around.
