in Riverbank, CA
Most Riverbank buyers with self-employment income get rejected by conventional lenders. These two non-QM loans exist to fix that.
Both skip W-2 income verification. But they work differently — and the wrong choice can cost you the deal.
1099 loans are built for independent contractors and freelancers. Your 1099 forms replace the pay stubs and tax returns a conventional lender demands.
Lenders typically look at 1 to 2 years of 1099 income. If your gross earnings are strong, this often gets you a higher qualifying income than bank statements would.
Bank statement loans use 12 or 24 months of deposits to calculate your income. Lenders apply an expense ratio — usually 50% — to determine net qualifying income.
This loan fits business owners whose tax returns show heavy write-offs. If your returns show low income but your accounts show strong cash flow, this is likely your path.

The biggest difference is how income gets calculated. 1099 loans use your gross contract earnings. Bank statement loans use your actual deposit history, then discount it.
1099 income is cleaner to document if you have the forms. Bank statement loans require more paperwork but reach borrowers whose 1099 history is inconsistent or mixed with other income.
If you file 1099s from one or two consistent clients, the 1099 loan is usually the faster and stronger path. Your gross income qualifies without the haircut an expense ratio creates.
If you own a business, have mixed income sources, or run heavy expenses through your accounts, go with the bank statement route. It captures what you actually earn and deposit.
Some non-QM lenders allow blended income documentation. Ask your broker if a combined approach improves your qualifying income.
