Valor Stated Income Loans for Unique Financial Scenarios | Valor Lending Group
ATTENTION SELF-EMPLOYED BORROWERS
Valor Lending Group Offers New Stated Income Loan Programs
Take advantage of our latest Stated Income Loan Programs tailored specifically for self-employed individuals. These innovative loans are designed to address the challenges faced by those who use IRS tax provisions to write off expenses, which can often reduce reported income below what’s required to qualify for traditional loans. With Valor Stated Income Loans for Unique Financial Scenarios, self-employed borrowers can qualify based on their bank account deposits, demonstrating sufficient cash flow to comfortably cover the mortgage payment and any existing debts.

What is a Stated Income Loan?
Stated Income Loans have evolved significantly since the pre-2008 financial crisis. These modern loan programs are not the same as those that allow borrowers to state their income without verification. Today, lenders follow strict guidelines to ensure responsible lending practices while offering flexibility to borrowers with unique financial situations.
Following the 2008 financial crisis, the Dodd-Frank Act introduced major regulatory changes, requiring lenders to document a borrower’s ability to repay loans. While these rules apply to owner-occupied residential properties, Stated Income Loans remain an excellent option for self-employed borrowers, allowing them to document their income in a way that reflects their true cash flow.
Bank statement lenders verify income through business and personal bank account deposits rather than relying on tax returns. This makes Stated Income Loans ideal for individuals whose tax returns may not fully reflect their earnings.

Why Choose a Stated Income Loan?
1. A Solution for Self-Employed Borrowers
Traditional mortgage lenders rely on tax returns, W-2s, and pay stubs to calculate income. This process works well for salaried employees but puts self-employed individuals at a disadvantage. Why? Traditional lenders evaluate net income, the adjusted gross income from tax returns, which is often lower for self-employed borrowers due to deductions.
Stated Income Loans level the playing field by using gross deposits from bank statements as a measure of income. This approach provides a more accurate representation of a self-employed borrower’s ability to repay a loan.
2. Flexible Qualification Standards
Stated Income Loans are designed to accommodate both owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied properties (1-4 units). Borrowers qualify by providing 12 or 24 months of bank statements, which are used to determine gross income.
Lenders calculate the borrower’s debt-to-income (DTI) ratio based on their monthly obligations, including credit card payments, car loans, and the proposed mortgage payment. Borrowers with a DTI of 55% or lower and verifiable self-employment income for at least two years can often secure financing.
