1099 Mortgage Loan Program
Flexible Home Financing for 1099 Earners — Less Paperwork, More Possibility.
Simple, Flexible Home Loans for Independent Contractors & Gig Workers
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.
Understanding the 1099 Loan and Who It’s For
How Income Is Calculated
-
Lenders average your 1099 income over the past 12–24 months
-
If using business accounts, an expense factor may be applied
-
Some programs allow bank statements to supplement 1099 income
-
No need for a full tax return review
Who Is This Loan For
- Real estate agents, consultants, contractors, and freelancers
- Rideshare or delivery drivers (Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, etc.)
- Creatives such as designers, photographers, artists, and writers
- Commission-based earners without W-2s
- Anyone with steady 1099 income who struggles to qualify traditionally
Benefits of a 1099 Mortgage Loan

- Ideal for Independent Earners: Designed for freelancers, consultants, rideshare drivers, creatives, and other self-employed 1099 earners.
