What is a Stated Income Loan?
A Stated Income Loan is a type of mortgage designed for borrowers who may not have traditional income documentation, such as W-2s or tax returns. Instead of providing detailed income verification, borrowers state their income, which is then verified through other means such as bank statements or financial statements.
This type of loan is ideal for self-employed individuals, freelancers, or those with irregular income sources. By focusing on overall financial health and alternative income verification methods, these loans make it possible for a wider range of borrowers to qualify.
