A 1099 income loan makes sense in Healdsburg if you're self-employed with stable income on paper. At $999,402 median price, most homes fall well below the $3,000,000 loan cap.
The trade-off is that you need solid reserves and a clean credit profile. Nine months of reserves is substantial, and your residual income must clear $1,500 monthly.
