Can I Buy a Second Home?
Yes — many Non-QM 1099 programs finance second homes for contractors and freelancers who qualify on 1099 income, with occupancy rules and usually more equity than a primary purchase.
What underwriters typically review on Indiana 1099 second-home files.
Second-home rules vary by investor and change without notice. Not a guarantee of approval.
Mislabeling occupancy is one of the fastest ways to stall a Non-QM file.
Ryan & Steve average your 1099 income, then overlay second-home LTV and reserve grids so cash-to-close covers both housing payments.
If write-offs crush AGI but client work is steady, 1099 Non-QM can still support a lake house or city condo that conventional income math would block.
All loans are subject to credit and property approval. Guidelines are educational, not a commitment.
Second-home prep list
— 1–2 years of 1099-NEC/MISC forms
— Confirm personal-use occupancy (not full-time rental)
— Plan larger down payment and dual-housing reserves
— Asset statements for equity and post-close cushion
