Self Employed Borrowers
Self-Employed Borrower Scenario
Scenario:
Maria is a freelance graphic designer who earns a strong income, but her tax returns don’t accurately show it because of legal write-offs. Even though her bank deposits proved consistent revenue, traditional lenders denied her because her adjusted taxable income was “too low.”
With a Bank Statement Loan, Maria qualified using 12 months of deposits, no tax returns required. She purchased a townhome with flexible underwriting based on her true cash flow, not her deductions.
Who does this help:
Freelancers, 1099 contractors, gig-economy earners, entrepreneurs, and anyone whose tax returns understate their real income.

Bryan LelliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently worked with Mike Illig at Westpark Loans on a mortgage refinance, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Mike took the time to understand my goals, walked me through different options, and clearly explained the pros and cons of each scenario. Throughout the process, he was responsive, transparent, and proactive—whether it was locking in a competitive rate, requesting documents, or keeping me updated on the status of my loan. What really stood out was how seamless Mike made everything. The paperwork was handled efficiently, timelines were clear, and there were no surprises at closing. Thanks to Mike, I was able to lower my payment and improve my overall financial position with far less stress than I expected. I highly recommend Mike Illig and Westpark Loans to anyone considering a mortgage refinance. They’re professional, knowledgeable, and truly put their clients first.

Stephanie HwangTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started out my loan process by talking with several different brokers and as the process unfolded I decided to work with Mike because he felt the most genuine, and I'm so glad I did! Mike was very supportive - he worked with me to figure out what I wanted, and he really worked with me to get the terms I wanted. I originally thought I’d be going with one type of loan, but when that option didn’t work out, Mike was knowledgeable and helped me pivot to a different solution and lender that matched my situation. The whole process was seamless — he guided me through every step, explained my options clearly, and made sure I still got the terms I needed. I really appreciated his support, responsiveness, and follow-through. I would definitely work with Mike again!Google rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 77 reviewsVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
