Bank Statement / No-Doc in Fort Collins
Fort Collins bank statement loans, qualifying on deposits, not returns.
Built for self-employed investors whose tax returns don't tell the whole story. We qualify on bank-statement cash flow or on the asset itself, with no W-2s and no tax returns, so write-offs don't work against a strong borrower. Fort Collins runs on a mix of short-term rental operators, newly registered long-term landlords, and the self-employed base behind its manufacturing and health care anchors. Business-purpose only, and every structure is set in underwriting.

Local FAQ
Bank Statement / No-Doc in Fort Collins, answered.
Who in Fort Collins actually uses a bank statement loan instead of a conventional one?
Owners of a rental business the city itself now tracks on paper. Fort Collins averages 375 to 400 licensed short-term rental operators a year, and since 2025-01-01 most long-term rentals of 30 days or more must also register with the city for $37 plus $10 per additional unit. Both groups are, by definition, running a small business whose income shows up as deposits, not a W-2. Add the self-employed owners and operators named on the Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce's major-employer roster, spanning advanced manufacturing, health care and consumer products, and you have a metro where a tax return built to minimize taxable income is common, and a bank statement loan reads 12 to 24 months of deposits instead.
I run a short-term rental in Fort Collins and my income is seasonal Airbnb deposits, not a W-2. Can bank statements qualify me?
Yes, that's exactly the file this program is built to read. A Fort Collins STR license costs $150 to start and $100 a year to renew, runs July 1 to June 30 regardless of when it's issued, and sits on top of city sales tax of 3.85% and city lodging tax of 3.0% on every stay, all of which shows up as real, dated activity in your bank statements even when a Schedule C makes the year look thin. One thing to plan around if you're buying an operating STR: the license does not transfer with the sale. The city's own guide is explicit that a new owner has to apply for a license in their own name within 30 days of closing, so build that gap into your timeline rather than assuming the seller's license carries the income history forward.
I just registered my Fort Collins long-term rental under the city's 2025 rule. Does that change how I qualify for financing?
Not directly, but it's a real closing-checklist item and a signal worth understanding. Since 2025-01-01 most 30-day-or-longer rentals in the city must register for $37 per property plus $10 per additional unit, with no inspection required, and the city moved from education to enforcement of that requirement in early 2025. Registration itself doesn't change your underwriting, but if the income you actually want to qualify on is the rent roll rather than deposits from a business or 1099 work, a DSCR rental loan that qualifies on the property's rent may fit better. Worth flagging early: whole-house rent in Fort Collins runs close to a 4.1% gross yield against current values, which is thin for a DSCR test on a single lease, so many local landlords lean on bank statement or per-bedroom student-lease structures instead.
Fort Collins repealed its old occupancy cap. Does that affect how I qualify a rental-by-the-bedroom business here?
It changed what the business itself is allowed to look like, which matters for the income you're trying to document. Fort Collins was long known for U+2, capping unrelated roommates at three per home. State law (HB24-1007, effective 2024-07-01) preempted any familial-relationship-based occupancy cap, and Fort Collins City Council repealed its own limit on 2024-07-02. The binding constraints now are building and fire code, bedroom egress and parking, not a headcount rule, which is why by-the-bedroom leasing near CSU has become a legitimate operating model rather than a workaround. If that's your business, a bank statement loan reads the deposits that model actually produces instead of asking a Schedule C to explain it.
Does Fort Collins' low property tax rate change what a self-employed borrower can afford to carry here?
The base rate is genuinely low, but ask about metro districts before you count on it. On the certified Fort Collins levy stack, a $500,000 rental carries about $3,228 a year in property tax, roughly 0.65% of value, which is low by national standards. A Title 32 metro district levy, common across the newer subdivisions ringing the city, sits on top of that base and can push the same house to 1.0% to 1.3% of value depending on the district. Since a bank statement borrower is typically qualifying on deposits rather than a fixed pay stub, knowing the parcel's actual tax area before you size the purchase, not the listing sheet's stated rate, keeps the carry math honest.
How does closing actually work on a Fort Collins deal, and who funds the loan?
We originate and fund the file, and closing itself runs through a title company with escrow, not an attorney's office. Colorado closes through title companies that hold earnest money, pay off liens, disburse funds and record the deed, which is a different model than the attorney-closing states some out-of-state investors are used to. That holds across Larimer County regardless of which of the eight cities in this metro the property sits in, and it doesn't change the business-purpose posture or the underwriting standard you'd expect from a direct lender.
How much do I need to put down on a Fort Collins bank statement loan?
From 20% of the purchase price. On a $500,000 Fort Collins rental that is $100,000 from you and $400,000 from us (500,000 x 80% = 400,000). Budget the local carry alongside the down payment: about $3,228 a year in property tax on that same house on the base city and county stack, more if the parcel sits inside a metro district, plus the city's $37 rental registration on a long-term lease. Confirm the parcel's tax area before you set your cash. Subject to underwriting.
How many months of bank statements does a Fort Collins file need?
12 to 24 months of deposits, depending on the file. That is the whole income picture on this program: no W-2s, no pay stubs, and no tax returns. For a Fort Collins short-term rental operator, the seasonal swing in those deposits is normal and expected, and the license, sales and lodging tax activity behind it is exactly the dated record the program reads. Get the statements pulled before you go under contract so the file moves when the deal does. Subject to underwriting.
What size bank statement loans do you write in Fort Collins?
From $100,000 to $3 million, on either a short-term or a 30-year term, for investment and business-purpose property only. Credit starts at 640 on this program. That range covers most of what a self-employed buyer looks at across the Fort Collins metro, whether the deposits come from a licensed short-term rental, a registered long-term rental, or an operating business. Subject to underwriting.
