Who Should Consider a 1099 Loan?
When 1099 Non-QM is the smarter path than conventional tax-return underwriting — and when bank statement or DSCR fits better.
1099 Non-QM is designed for independent earners whose 1099 forms reflect real income better than tax returns.
1099 is not always the best Non-QM path — compare against bank statement, conventional, and DSCR before you commit.
Work through these questions before choosing 1099 Non-QM — Ryan & Steve run the same comparison on every Indiana contractor and freelancer file.
If two or more answers point to 1099, it is likely your strongest path. If bank statement or DSCR scores higher, we pivot before you apply.
Program fit depends on your 1099 history, deposits, credit, and property — guidelines vary by investor.
Ask yourself
— Do I have 1–2 years of consistent 1099 forms in the same trade?
— Do my bank deposits support the 1099 box amounts?
— Would tax-return conventional deny me because of write-offs?
— Am I buying primary/second home — not a cash-flowing rental?
— Would bank statement deposits qualify me for a higher amount?
