Our 1099 income loan option is for underserved self-employed borrowers who are 1099 workers. Many freelancers, contractors, gig economy workers or other self-employed borrowers who file using W-9s cannot qualify for a mortgage under Agency guidelines.
These underserved borrowers can use 1099 earning statements in lieu of tax returns to qualify for a mortgage. Our 1099 Income loan is an alternative loan solution that helps many self-employed 1099 earners achieve homeownership.
