1099 Only Loans: Flexible Mortgages for Self-Employed Professionals

Unlocking Homeownership with 1099 Only Loans

What Are 1099 Only Loans?

1099 only loans, also known as 1099 mortgage loans, provide a unique financing option for self-employed professionals who do not receive traditional W-2 income. These non-QM loans allow borrowers to qualify based on their 1099 forms instead of standard tax returns or pay stubs.

How Do 1099 Only Loans Work?

Lenders evaluate a borrower's financial standing using their 1099 forms, bank statements, and credit history. These loans offer flexible qualification criteria, accommodating fluctuating income patterns commonly experienced by freelancers and independent contractors.

Benefits of 1099 Only Loans

  1. Simplified Income Verification: Focuses on 1099 forms rather than extensive tax documentation.

  2. Flexibility for Fluctuating Income: Adapts to irregular cash flows.

  3. Faster Approval Process: Less paperwork speeds up processing.

  4. Homeownership Opportunities: Opens doors for those unable to qualify for traditional loans.

  5. Potentially Competitive Rates: Some lenders offer better rates than other non-QM options.

  • Minimum credit score of 620 or higher

  • Proof of self-employment for at least two years
