Self-Employed & 1099 — your questions, answered

Can I get a mortgage if I'm self-employed?

Absolutely. Beyond standard loans, we offer bank-statement and 1099 programs that qualify you on real income — helpful when write-offs lower your taxable income.

What is a bank-statement loan?

A loan that uses 12–24 months of bank deposits to document your income instead of tax returns — ideal for self-employed borrowers.

How long do I need to be self-employed to qualify?

Often two years, but some programs allow less. Tell us your situation and we'll match you to the right option.
