Hesperia draws a lot of self-employed buyers. Contractors, truckers, and gig workers are common here in San Bernardino County.
A 1099 loan skips W-2 verification entirely. Your contract income drives the approval instead.

Loan Type
Lenders typically want 1-2 years of 1099 forms. Some also ask for a letter confirming you're still actively working.
Credit requirements vary by lender. Most 1099 programs start around 620, but stronger files get better pricing.
Big retail banks almost never offer 1099 loans. This is a non-QM product, meaning wholesale lenders handle it.
We work with 200+ wholesale lenders. Several specialize in non-QM income types exactly like yours.
The most common mistake: self-employed borrowers apply at a bank and get denied. Then they wait months before calling a broker.
Your 1099s need to show consistent income. One strong year plus one weak year can hurt you. Two solid years closes deals.
Bank statement loans use deposits to prove income — useful if your 1099s understate what you actually earn.
Profit & Loss loans work well for sole proprietors with clean books. Your CPA prepares the statement, not a lender.
Hesperia sits in the High Desert, where home prices run lower than coastal San Bernardino County cities. That helps with down payment math.
Logistics, construction, and independent trade work are big here. Many local buyers earn exclusively 1099 income.
Most lenders want two years. Some will work with 12 months if your income is strong and consistent.
Yes. Lenders can blend income types. Your file gets reviewed as a whole picture.
Most programs start at 620. Higher scores get better rates — rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
No. You still document your income — just with 1099s instead of W-2s. Income is verified, not stated.
Expect 10-20% down depending on your credit and income profile. Lower down payments require stronger files.
