Question 1

Who in the Amarillo area qualifies on bank statements instead of tax returns?

Accepted Answer

Agricultural and trade operators. The self-employed base here includes feedyard operators, custom harvesters, truckers on I-40, and construction subcontractors. The Texas Cattle Feeders Association, a trade group describing its own region, says the Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico panhandles feed approximately six million fed cattle a year, over 25% of the nation's fed cattle production. That is a self-published, undated figure, offered as context. Where write-offs understate cash flow on a tax return, a bank statement loan reads the deposits instead.

Question 2

Is there Amarillo data on how many investors are self-employed?

Accepted Answer

No local self-employment rate was sourced. We do not publish a statistic we cannot trace. Statewide, Texas construction nonemployers were 12.24% of all nonemployers in 2023 against a 9.59% national share, which says construction is a larger share of non-payroll businesses in Texas than in the country as a whole. That is a statewide scale-and-share figure, not an Amarillo one and not a growth claim.

Question 3

What carry costs does an Amarillo bank statement file absorb?

Accepted Answer

Property tax by county and a hail deductible. On 2025 rates the Potter County side of Amarillo stacks to 2.112080 per $100 of value and the Randall County side to 1.922830, about $401 a year apart on a $212,025 house, with no homestead exemption on investor property. A 2% wind and hail deductible on a $212,000 house is about $4,240 per event. Bank statement qualification reads your deposits, but the property still has to carry these costs. Verify the parcel's tax account before you close.

Question 4

How do Amarillo-area price points fit a $100K minimum loan?

Accepted Answer

Most of the area clears it; the lowest-basis towns may not. Zillow values as of July 2026 were $212,025 in Amarillo, $301,463 in Canyon, $193,111 in Dumas, $174,377 in Hereford, and $109,012 in Borger. At 80% leverage, a $109,012 Borger house would carry a loan of about $87,200, below the program's $100K minimum. Borger rents $933 against that value, a 10.3% gross yield on thin liquidity, so underwrite the exit as well as the yield. Leverage is set in underwriting.

Question 5

What does the Amarillo job market look like for an income-based underwriter?

Accepted Answer

Steady, with modest softening. The metro's unemployment rate was 3.9% in July 2026 (not seasonally adjusted), up from 3.4% a year earlier but under the state rate, and total nonfarm employment was 130,300, essentially flat against 130,400. In the first quarter of 2025 the metro had 123,407 covered jobs across 7,094 establishments at an average weekly wage of $1,182. That is market context; your own file is underwritten on its deposits and the property.
