Borrower profile, generalized to protect privacy: a medical practice owner planning a future rental purchase, refinancing her own home.
An actual closed transaction. Certain details have been generalized to protect client privacy.
The Situation
A self-employed medical practice owner in California wanted to refinance her primary residence and pay off several high-interest business obligations. Her practice generated strong revenue, but a recent expansion and new equipment purchases had created substantial deductions that reduced the income shown on her tax returns.
Why the Bank Said No
Her conventional lender offered a refinance but approved far less cash than she needed. The tax returns told the story of a practice investing in its own growth; conventional underwriting read the same numbers as a lack of income.
The Financing Approach
The borrower qualified using twelve months of business bank statements. The deposit history established stable monthly income, and an expense factor appropriate to the type of medical practice was applied. The refinance was sized to retire the targeted obligations while keeping conservative equity in the home.
The Outcome
The loan closed in December of 2024. The borrower consolidated several high-interest obligations, improved her monthly cash flow, and preserved working capital for the practice she had just expanded.

The Borrower's Challenge
The borrower had expanded her medical practice and purchased new equipment, creating substantial business deductions. Those expenses reduced her taxable income even though the practice's monthly deposits remained strong.
The Loan Structure
A bank statement cash-out refinance on the borrower's primary residence, qualified on twelve months of business deposits, with title in her personal name.
How We Solved It
Underwriting reviewed a year of business bank statements to establish stable income and applied an expense factor suited to a medical practice, recognizing the difference between growth spending and a lack of income.
The Result
The borrower consolidated several high-interest obligations, improved her monthly cash flow, and preserved working capital for the practice.
