Villa Park is one of Orange County's most affluent communities. Homes here command serious prices, and buyers need real purchasing power.
If you earn 1099 income, your tax returns often understate what you actually make. Standard loans will kill your approval based on that number.

1099 loans qualify you on your actual 1099 earnings, not your taxable income. Lenders typically average 1-2 years of 1099s to set your income.
Most programs want a 660+ credit score and 10-20% down. Self-employment history of at least 2 years is standard across lenders.
Big banks rarely offer 1099 loans. This product lives in the wholesale and non-QM lender space — not your local branch.
We work with 200+ wholesale lenders. Several specialize in 1099 programs with competitive pricing for high-income self-employed borrowers.
The biggest mistake I see: self-employed buyers apply at their personal bank and get denied. That bank has one product. We have hundreds.
1099 income isn't messy — it just needs the right lender. A consultant clearing $300K but showing $80K taxable is a straightforward non-QM deal.
Bank statement loans are the closest alternative. They use 12-24 months of deposits instead of 1099s — better if your income mixes contract and business revenue.
If you have assets but low income on paper, asset depletion loans calculate a monthly income from your portfolio. Three paths, one goal: get you approved.
Villa Park sits in a low-inventory, high-demand pocket of Orange County. Sellers expect strong offers with solid pre-approvals.
A 1099 pre-approval from a non-QM lender carries weight when it's done right. We structure these to hold up under seller scrutiny.
Most lenders want 24 months of 1099 history. Some programs accept 12 months if your income is strong and consistent.
Yes. Many borrowers have mixed income. Lenders can blend W-2 and 1099 earnings — the program just needs to support it.
Yes, non-QM rates run higher than conventional. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions. Shop multiple lenders.
Typically 1-2 years of 1099 forms, bank statements, and a letter confirming active self-employment. No tax returns on most programs.
Yes. There's no geographic restriction. Loan limits for non-QM products are often flexible enough for Villa Park price points.
Lenders average your 1099 earnings over 12 or 24 months. That gross figure — not your taxable income — is what drives your approval.
