Areas We Serve Near Our Marina del Rey Office
The Westside is full of self-employed earners — creatives, contractors, and business owners whose tax returns understate what they really make. Here is how a bank statement loan tends to fit across the areas we cover from the marina:
- Marina del Rey: Boat brokers, charter and hospitality operators, and creative freelancers around the harbor with strong deposits but write-off-heavy returns.
- Venice: Artists, designers, tech contractors, and shop owners along Abbot Kinney — textbook bank statement borrowers.
- Playa del Rey: Small-business owners and remote professionals near the coast who bank solid revenue but show reduced taxable income.
- Playa Vista: Silicon Beach contractors and startup founders paid on 1099 or through an LLC, where 12–24 months of deposits tell the real story.
- Santa Monica: Consultants, agency owners, and entertainment freelancers with variable income that a bank statement program smooths out.
- Culver City: Studio, post-production, and media freelancers near the tech corridor who are paid project to project.
- West Los Angeles: Self-employed medical, legal, and real estate professionals whose deposits support more than their returns suggest.
- Mar Vista: Creative professionals and small-business owners buying or refinancing single-family homes.
- Westchester: LAX-area contractors, aviation professionals, and small-business owners near Kentwood.
These are service areas of our Marina del Rey office, not separate offices.
How a Bank Statement Loan Works
A bank statement loan is a mortgage that qualifies self-employed California borrowers using 12 or 24 months of business or personal bank statements instead of tax returns. The lender averages your deposits, applies an expense factor (typically 25–50% depending on business type), and uses the net result as your qualifying income. That sidesteps tax-return income that is often artificially low because of legitimate write-offs.
These are Non-Qualified Mortgages (Non-QM) — they don't fit the federal Qualified Mortgage definition, which requires tax-return income verification, but they are not subprime. They're built for 1099 contractors, freelancers, gig workers, and LLC or business owners whose deposits are strong but whose taxable income is reduced by write-offs. For example, a borrower with $200,000 in deposits and a 50% expense factor qualifies at roughly $100,000 of income.
Most California bank statement loans fall between $400,000 and $2 million, with specialty super-jumbo programs available (generally about 30% down and a 760+ score) — a fit for the high-value Westside market. As a broker, Save Financial shops many bank statement lenders at once and places your file where the deposit and expense-factor rules produce the most income.
Common Bank Statement Scenarios for Westside Self-Employed Borrowers
Save Financial has closed bank statement loans for restaurant owners, real estate agents, attorneys, contractors, creators, and more. On the Westside they usually look like this:
- Strong deposits, low taxable income: A freelancer or business owner whose write-offs make conventional qualifying impossible, but whose 12–24 months of deposits clearly support the payment.
- Buying on the Westside: A self-employed buyer purchasing a Marina del Rey, Venice, or Playa Vista home who can't document income the conventional way.
- Refinance or cash-out: An owner tapping equity or lowering a payment without producing tax returns.
- 1099 or P&L path: Borrowers who fit better on a 1099 loan (gross 1099 income with an expense factor) or a P&L loan (a CPA-prepared profit-and-loss statement).
- High-income professionals: Owners for whom filing differently to qualify conventionally would cost more in taxes than a bank statement loan does in rate.
Is a Bank Statement Loan Right for You?
A bank statement loan generally fits when most of the following are true. This is a general guide, not a commitment to lend, and every file is reviewed individually:
- You are self-employed (1099 contractor, freelancer, gig worker, or business owner), typically with a two-year history.
- Your tax returns understate your true income because of legitimate write-offs.
- You can provide 12–24 months of business or personal bank statements showing consistent deposits.
- You have roughly 10–20% down for an owner-occupied home (20–25% for investment) and a mid-600s or higher credit score.
- You want to buy or refinance without handing over tax returns or W-2s.
Bank Statement vs. Conventional vs. P&L / 1099
These paths all serve self-employed borrowers but prove income differently. Here is a side-by-side:
| Factor | Bank Statement | Conventional (full-doc) | P&L / 1099 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Income proof | 12–24 months of deposits | Tax returns & W-2s | CPA P&L, or gross 1099 |
| Tax returns required | No | Yes | No |
| Best for | Write-off-heavy self-employed | W-2 or clean-return borrowers | Owners with a CPA P&L or 1099 income |
| Loan type | Non-QM | Qualified Mortgage | Non-QM |
| Typical down (owner-occ) | ~10–20% | As low as 3–5% | ~10–20% |
| Property use | Primary, second, investment | Primary, second, investment | Primary, second, investment |
The right path is whichever documents the most qualifying income for your situation. Because we broker across lenders, we can compare a bank statement, P&L, and 1099 approach side by side.
