in Williams, CA
Most Williams buyers we work with are self-employed. Standard W-2 underwriting kills their deals fast.
Two non-QM options exist for this situation: 1099 loans and bank statement loans. Picking the wrong one wastes time.
1099 loans are built for independent contractors and freelancers. Your 1099 forms replace tax returns as income proof.
Lenders typically average your 1099 income over 12 to 24 months. Consistent contract income is a must here.
Bank statement loans use 12 to 24 months of deposits to calculate your income. Tax write-offs don't hurt you here.
Lenders apply an expense ratio to your deposits — usually 50% to 70% — then use that net figure to qualify you.
