Who Qualifies for a 1099 Loan?
Typical credit, equity, reserves, and 1099 history guidelines for Indiana contractors and freelancers.
1099 Non-QM programs are built for independent income — not W-2 employees with clean pay stubs who already qualify conventionally.
Ranges we see on Indiana contractor and freelancer files — your exact numbers depend on the matched program.
All loans subject to credit and property approval. Program guidelines vary by investor and change without notice.
Ryan & Steve review your 1099 forms, bank deposits, and credit profile before you write an offer — so you know which Non-QM investor fits and what income number underwriting will use.
We flag gaps between 1099 box amounts and deposits, missing form years, and reserve shortfalls early — not after you are under contract.
If 1099 alone is thin, we compare bank statement and blended documentation paths so you land on the strongest qualifying story.
1099 qualification checklist
— Two years of 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC forms (or 1 year with strong compensating factors)
— Bank statements showing deposits that support reported earnings
— Credit report with mid-600s+ score and acceptable payment history
— Reserves and down payment documented before you offer
