in Jackson, CA
Jackson sits in Amador County wine country, where self-employed buyers are common. Standard W-2 loans often fail these borrowers — two non-QM options usually fill that gap.
Both 1099 loans and bank statement loans qualify income differently than conventional programs. Knowing which fits your income type saves time and avoids dead ends.
1099 loans are built for independent contractors and freelancers. Lenders use your 1099 forms — not tax returns — to calculate qualifying income.
This matters because most contractors write off heavy expenses. Tax returns show low net income. Your 1099 gross tells a more accurate story.
Bank statement loans use 12 to 24 months of deposits to prove income. No 1099s, no tax returns — just your actual cash flow.
This works best for business owners whose income flows through a business or personal account. Lenders apply an expense ratio to calculate qualifying income.
