in Stockton, CA
Most Stockton self-employed borrowers get turned away by conventional lenders. That's where non-QM loans step in.
1099 loans and bank statement loans both solve the same problem differently. Knowing which fits your income type saves time and money.
1099 loans are built for independent contractors and freelancers. Your 1099 forms replace the W-2 that conventional lenders demand.
Lenders typically average one to two years of 1099 income. You don't need to show business bank accounts — just your earnings forms.
Bank statement loans use 12 to 24 months of deposits to calculate your income. Lenders ignore your tax returns completely.
This works well for business owners who write off heavy expenses. Your taxable income might be low — your deposits tell a different story.
The core difference is documentation. 1099 loans use earnings forms. Bank statement loans use deposit history.
Business owners with deductions usually fare better on bank statements. Pure contractors with clean 1099 income often qualify faster with a 1099 loan.
If you drive for a platform, do contract work, or freelance — a 1099 loan is the straightforward path. Your income is already documented on those forms.
If you run a business in Stockton and your tax returns show low net income due to write-offs, bank statements will likely show a stronger qualifying picture.

Most non-QM lenders want at least 10-20% down. Stronger credit and income docs can improve your options.
