Banning sits in the San Gorgonio Pass — affordable by Riverside County standards. That matters for 1099 earners who can qualify here where others price out.
This is a non-QM loan. It's built for freelancers and contractors who can't show W-2 income. Traditional lenders will turn you away. We won't.

Loan Type
Lenders use your 1099 forms — typically 1-2 years — to calculate income. No tax returns required on most programs. Your gross 1099 earnings drive the number.
Expect a minimum credit score around 620-660 depending on the lender. Down payments usually start at 10-20%. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Most retail banks won't touch 1099 income. They want W-2s. Wholesale non-QM lenders are built differently — they underwrite to actual earnings, not tax returns.
SRK CAPITAL works with 200+ wholesale lenders. That means real options for gig workers, consultants, and self-employed borrowers in Banning and across Riverside County.
The biggest mistake 1099 borrowers make: writing off too much on taxes. It lowers your taxable income — and tanks your qualifying income on traditional loans.
With a 1099 loan, gross income matters more. If your 1099s show strong earnings, we can work with that. Heavy write-offs hurt you less here than on a conventional loan.
Bank Statement Loans use 12-24 months of deposits instead of 1099s. If your business income runs through an account, that program may show higher qualifying income.
P&L Statement Loans work for borrowers with a licensed CPA preparing their financials. Each non-QM option has a different strength — the right one depends on how your income flows.
Banning attracts retirees, remote workers, and tradespeople — a natural fit for 1099 borrowers. The cost of living is lower than the LA metro, which helps with debt-to-income ratios.
Riverside County has active non-QM lending activity. Lenders are familiar with self-employed borrowers here. That familiarity speeds up the process for 1099 applicants.
Most lenders want 1-2 years of 1099 forms. Some also ask for a current client contract or proof of active self-employment.
Some lenders allow it, but two years is stronger. One-year programs usually require higher credit scores and larger down payments.
Not always. But proof of ongoing self-employment — like active contracts or recent invoices — helps your file significantly.
A 1099 loan uses your contractor income forms. A bank statement loan uses deposit history. The right choice depends on how your income is structured.
Yes, typically. Non-QM loans carry more risk for lenders. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Some programs start at 10% down. Strong credit and consistent 1099 income improve your chances at the lower end of the down payment range.
