Are Reserves Required?
Yes — most bank statement Non-QM programs require liquid reserves equal to months of PITIA left after closing, separate from your down payment and closing costs.
Not the same dollars as your down payment — investors want cushion left after you fund.
Common Non-QM bank statement patterns — your matched investor may differ.
Reserve months and eligible asset types are investor-specific and can change without notice.
Ryan & Steve map down payment, closing costs, and reserve months against your actual accounts before you write an offer.
We flag retirement haircuts, business-account ownership proof, and large-deposit seasoning so underwriting does not stall mid-file.
If reserves are thin, we look at larger down payment trade-offs, a different occupancy program, or timing to build cash — not a surprise denial later.
Reserve checklist
— Separate down payment cash from post-close reserves
— Recent statements for every reserve account
— Document large deposits and transfers
— Confirm investor months of PITIA before you offer
