Bank Statement Loans for Self-Employed Homebuyers

Adam Buttermore | Houston Loan Officer & Mortgage Lender | Licensed in TX, IN, FL & TN

Adam Buttermore is a Houston-based mortgage lender with 20+ years of experience helping homebuyers, refinancers, and investors secure the right loan with confidence.

At Adam Closes, we understand that not everyone’s income fits the traditional mold — especially business owners, freelancers, and self-employed professionals. That’s why we offer flexible bank statement loans that help qualified buyers prove income without relying on tax returns or W-2s.

Instead of focusing on traditional documentation, these loans use your recent bank statements to determine average monthly income and financial stability. This approach provides freedom for entrepreneurs who write off expenses or have variable income streams.

Whether you’re purchasing a new home or refinancing an existing one, Adam and his team will guide you through every step, ensuring clarity and confidence from start to finish. With over 20 years of mortgage experience, we specialize in creating real solutions for real people — giving self-employed buyers the same opportunities for homeownership as everyone else.
