1099 Loans in Riverbank
Do I need two full years of 1099 income?
Most lenders want two years. Some accept 12 months if income is strong and consistent. A shorter history increases scrutiny.
01
Riverbank sits in Stanislaus County, where independent contractors and gig workers make up a real share of the workforce. Standard loan programs ignore your actual earnings. 1099 loans don't.
This is a non-QM loan. That means it falls outside conventional lending rules. Lenders qualify you on 1099 income directly, not a tax return that shows deductions eating your income.

02
Most lenders want 1-2 years of 1099 forms. Some accept 12 months. You'll need to show the income is consistent and likely to continue.
Credit requirements vary by lender. Many will approve at 640. Some go lower with stronger compensating factors like reserves or a larger down payment.

Banks rarely offer 1099 loans. This product lives in the wholesale and non-QM lending space. That's exactly where SRK CAPITAL operates.
We work with 200+ wholesale lenders. Several specialize in 1099 and self-employed borrowers. Rates vary across them. Shopping matters.
04
The biggest mistake I see: contractors write off everything, drop their taxable income to near zero, then wonder why they can't qualify. 1099 loans look at gross 1099 earnings instead.
If you're a contractor who earns well but files aggressively, this loan was built for you. Pair it with 6-12 months of reserves and your file gets much stronger fast.
05
Bank Statement Loans average 12-24 months of deposits to calculate income. 1099 loans are simpler — your forms do the work. Both are non-QM, but which fits depends on how you get paid.
If you run a business with significant expenses, a P&L Statement Loan might show a higher qualifying income. Talk to us about your specific situation before assuming one path.
06
Stanislaus County has a strong base of trade contractors, ag workers, and small business owners. Many earn 1099 income and have been shut out of conventional financing.
Riverbank is more affordable than coastal California. That means loan amounts stay manageable, and non-QM rates — while higher than conventional — are easier to absorb here.
