1099 Borrowers Mortgage Qualification Guide
Write-offs that cut your tax bill also cut the income a traditional lender will count. So a strong business can still look weak on a 1040. Clear that, and the rest is straightforward. Here are the steps.
If you are paid on a 1099, you are self-employed in the eyes of an underwriter, and your write-offs reduce the income a conventional loan will count. We use bank-statement and non-QM programs that read your deposits or a single year of 1099s, so the gap between your tax return and your real earnings stops being a problem.
A 1099 instead of a W2 changes the documentation, not your ability to buy. We use the loan programs designed for independent income. Below is the step-by-step path 1099 borrowers follow to qualify for a Florida mortgage, plus the paperwork we ask for up front.
Gather 12–24 months of business or personal bank statements showing steady deposits.
Have your CPA prepare a current profit-and-loss statement if we go the P&L route.
Show the business has been operating for at least two years in most cases.
Keep personal and business accounts clean for the months before you apply.
