Bank statement, 1099, and P&L loan programs qualify you on real income — your deposits — so write-offs don't sink your application.

Who qualifies in Baylor County
Self-employed 2+ years (1–2 years may work with experience)
12–24 months of bank statements
620+ credit and 10%%+ down
Roughly 50%% of monthly deposits counted as income
Primary, second home, or investment
These loans aren't just for primary residences — second homes and investment properties qualify too. Pair a bank-statement loan for your own home with a DSCR loan for rentals and you can keep growing without ever showing a tax return.
P&L-only loan options
Some self-employed borrowers qualify with a CPA-prepared profit-and-loss statement, sometimes paired with a couple months of statements. A P&L loan is another non-QM path when your deposits alone don't capture the whole picture.
Texas's 80% cash-out rule
Texas homestead law caps cash-out refinances on a primary residence at 80% of the home's value — you must keep at least 20% equity. It applies to every loan type, including bank-statement loans, so plan your cash-out around that ceiling.
Usually yes — many non-QM programs require about 3 to 12 months of PITI (principal, interest, taxes, insurance) in reserves, with larger loans requiring more.
What is a 1099 loan and how is it different?
A 1099 loan qualifies contractors and gig workers using their 1099 forms instead of tax returns, often counting 90–100% of gross 1099 earnings. It's a great fit if most of your income comes on 1099s.
What is a DSCR loan for investors?
A DSCR loan qualifies real estate investors on a property's rental cash flow instead of personal income — no tax returns or pay stubs. It's ideal for rentals, cash-out refinances, and growing a portfolio.
Can I get a mortgage with an ITIN instead of a Social Security number?
Yes. ITIN loans underwrite with your IRS-issued taxpayer ID, typically with 10-20% down and two years of work history. Self-employed ITIN borrowers can often document income with bank statements.
What documents will I need?
Generally 12–24 months of statements, proof of self-employment (license, incorporation docs, or a CPA letter), and asset statements for your down payment and reserves.
What about jumbo loans for the self-employed?
Bank statement jumbo programs lend above the conforming limit ($832,750 in most Texas counties for 2026) using deposit-based income — expect larger down payments and deeper reserves than smaller loans.
