in Waterford, CA
Most Waterford buyers with self-employment income get turned away by conventional lenders. These two non-QM loans exist specifically to fix that.
Both skip the W-2 requirement. But how you prove income determines which one fits your situation.
1099 loans use your 1099 forms to document income. If you're a contractor or freelancer, this is your paper trail.
Lenders typically average one to two years of 1099s. You don't need to show business bank statements or tax returns.
Bank statement loans use 12 to 24 months of deposits to calculate your income. Tax write-offs don't hurt you here.
This works well for business owners whose returns show low taxable income but strong cash flow.
The core difference is how income gets calculated. 1099 loans read your gross earnings from forms. Bank statement loans read actual cash flowing through your accounts.
If your tax returns show heavy deductions, bank statement loans will qualify you at a higher number. 1099 loans don't adjust for write-offs.
Pure contractors paid by 1099 with clean income history should start with a 1099 loan. It's simpler and the documentation is already in your hands.
Business owners who write off significant expenses should go bank statement. Your taxable income looks low — your deposits tell the real story.
Some lenders allow blended income documentation. Ask us whether your specific mix of 1099 and business income qualifies under one program.
Yes. Both are available for purchases and refinances in Stanislaus County. Property type and loan amount affect which lenders will participate.
Most non-QM lenders want 640 or higher. Stronger credit scores help offset the non-QM rate premium on both programs.
Non-QM loans can go well above conforming limits. Your qualifying income calculation determines the actual loan amount you can support.
Yes. Non-QM rates run above conventional pricing. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Most require 12 to 24 months. Lenders look for consistent deposits and flag large irregular transfers as potential issues.
