Looking for a flexible, budget-friendly mortgage? A conventional loan offers low down payments, no mortgage insurance with 20% down, and term options that fit your life.
Is this loan right for you?
Are you a self-employed professional or independent contractor who gets paid on a 1099? If traditional lenders are turning you away due to tax write-offs or inconsistent income, our 1099 mortgage loan program may be your solution. No W-2s. No problem.
Benefits of a 1099 Mortgage Loan
- No Tax Returns or W-2s Required: Qualify using your 1099 forms alone—no need for extensive tax documentation.
- Ideal for Independent Earners: Designed for freelancers, consultants, rideshare drivers, creatives, and other self-employed 1099 earners.
- Higher Qualifying Income: Unlike traditional loans, this program uses your gross 1099 income—ignoring tax deductions that can lower qualifying income.
- Purchase, Refinance, or Cash Out: Use this loan to buy a home, refinance for better terms, or access your equity—available for primary, second homes, or investment properties.
- Fast, Hassle-Free Approval: Minimal paperwork and fast turn times allow closings in as little as 2–3 weeks.
