Perris has a strong base of self-employed trades workers, truckers, and contractors. Many earn solid income but can't show it on a W-2.
1099 loans are built for exactly that borrower. Your tax returns don't tell the full story — this loan doesn't pretend they do.

Loan Type
Lenders typically want 1-2 years of 1099 forms showing consistent income. You also need to prove self-employment history in the same field.
Credit requirements vary by lender. Most want a 620 or higher. Expect to put down 10-20% depending on your profile.
Most big banks won't touch a 1099 borrower. They want W-2s and clean tax returns. That's not who this loan is for.
Wholesale lenders that specialize in non-QM products are where this gets done. We work with 200+ lenders and know who prices these well.
The most common mistake: borrowers write off too much income. Low taxable income kills your debt-to-income ratio fast.
With a 1099 loan, lenders use gross 1099 income — not what's left after deductions. That's the key difference from a conventional loan.
Bank statement loans look at 12-24 months of deposits. 1099 loans use your actual contractor income forms. Both are non-QM — the best fit depends on how you get paid.
If you're a freelancer paid via direct deposit with mixed income, bank statements might show more. Pure 1099 contractors usually qualify cleaner with this product.
Perris sits in the Inland Empire, where logistics, construction, and warehouse work drive the local economy. A lot of that workforce is 1099.
Home prices here are more accessible than coastal California. That means a 1099 borrower with solid income can actually buy without a jumbo loan.
Most lenders want 1-2 years of 1099 forms. Some also request a CPA letter confirming active self-employment.
Yes — 1099 loans use gross income, not your taxable amount. Heavy deductions won't eliminate you the way they would on a conventional loan.
Yes, typically. Non-QM products carry more risk for lenders. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Most lenders require at least two years of self-employment in the same field. One year may work with strong compensating factors.
Some lenders allow as little as 10% down. Lower down payments usually mean stricter credit and income requirements.
No. Stated income loans require no documentation. 1099 loans still verify income — just through contractor forms instead of W-2s.
