Local FAQ

Bank Statement / No-Doc in Merced, answered.

Who in Merced County has income that does not show up on a W-2?
Operators in the county's farm economy. Agriculture is the county's base, so farm, dairy, trucking and packing-shed owners with seasonal deposits are the self-employed borrowers here. We did not find a local self-employment statistic, so we publish none. Employees of the county's plants are W-2 earners, which is a different borrower from the one this program is built for.

How big is agriculture in Merced County?
$4,562,155,000 in gross commodity value for 2022, the year of the report we loaded. Milk was the number one commodity at $1,500,840,000 and almonds second at $482,069,000, from the County Agricultural Commissioner's 2022 Annual Report on Agriculture. Newer reports exist but we did not load them, so this is 2022 data and not a current figure. A farm-based business may see deposits move with its production cycle rather than a steady paycheck, and that is what bank statements show.

Why can twelve to twenty-four months of deposits qualify a seasonal earner?
Because a long window shows the whole cycle, not one month. We can underwrite on 12 to 24 months of bank statements, or structure a no-doc loan that leans on the property and your reserves, from $100K to $3M, in your own name or an LLC. A window that spans more than one growing or milk-price season lets a strong stretch and a slow stretch both appear in the average. Underwriting sets the final qualifying income and every structure is subject to underwriting. Our bank statement program has the terms.
Does holding a Merced rental in an LLC add California cost?
Yes. Every LLC doing business in California owes an $800 annual tax. A gross receipts fee sits on top once total California income reaches $250,000: $900 from $250,000 to under $500,000 and $2,500 from $500,000 to under $1,000,000. Total income counts gross receipts, so a flip's sale price counts, not just profit. An out-of-state LLC that owns a California rental is also doing business here. We did not confirm whether a first-year waiver currently applies, so ask your California CPA.
What does a Merced investment property cost to carry once the loan closes?
Taxes by school district, plus insurance you should quote early. The county's 2026-27 rate book shows ad valorem stacks from about 1.04% in the Livingston school district to about 1.16% in Delhi, so a $400,000 purchase in Merced City School District territory carries about $4,442 a year ($400,000 x 1.1105%). Newer City of Merced subdivisions add a services special tax outside the rate book. Flood coverage is a separate policy a lender may require near Bear Creek and the other creeks, and we found no county premium averages to quote.

About the local figures on this page

Local rules move. Every tax rate, fee, ordinance and market figure here comes from a primary source and carries the date we read it, and we correct them as the rules change. Where a number is mid-change or we could not verify it, we say so rather than guess. Before you commit a budget, confirm anything that drives it with the city or county, and talk to your attorney or CPA on questions of law or tax.

Published by USA Mortgage Funding, LLC, NMLS #152588. Researched from primary sources by our team, drafted with AI assistance, and every figure checked against its source before publishing. Where an answer rests on a public record, that record is linked under it. Figures read on 2026-10-16.
