If you've been told you 'make too much to qualify on paper' in Clay County, a bank statement loan is likely your answer. It qualifies you on your deposits, so the income you actually earn is the income that counts. If most of your income is on 1099s, a 1099 loan can count roughly 90–100% of it instead. We serve self-employed buyers from the county seat of Henrietta to communities across Clay County.
Who qualifies in Clay 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
Gig income counts — document it right
Uber, DoorDash, Instacart, freelance platforms — lenders aggregate it all as self-employment income. Route payouts into one account, keep your 1099s, and show about two years of history. Bank statement and 1099 loans capture what the apps actually paid you, not what survived your mileage deduction.
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.
LLC and S-corp owners: your K-1 isn't the ceiling
Owners who pay themselves modest salaries and leave profit in the business look artificially small on paper. Bank statement programs can use your business account deposits — typically counted around 50%, or higher with a CPA letter documenting your expense ratio — so the company's real cash flow backs your approval.
Yes — DSCR loans commonly close in an LLC or other entity, which many investors prefer for liability separation. The property qualifies on its rent versus its full payment (PITIA), not your personal income.
Do bank statement loans work for real estate agents?
They're one of the best fits. Commission deposits qualify you, and 24 months of statements smooths seasonal swings. If your brokerage 1099s your gross commissions, a 1099 loan counting 90-100% of gross may be even stronger.
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.
Will moving money between my accounts hurt my application?
It can muddy the file. Transfers between your own accounts get excluded so they aren't double-counted, and frequent overdrafts or NSFs are red flags. Keep deposits clean and consistent in the months before applying.
I was denied a conventional mortgage — now what?
Get the written denial reason first. If it's income or DTI related, your write-offs were probably the culprit, and a bank statement, 1099, P&L, or DSCR loan may approve the same file on real cash flow.
Can I finance a barndominium with a non-QM loan in Texas?
Texas is one of the friendliest barndo lending markets anywhere. Portfolio and non-QM lenders finance completed barndominiums when comparable sales support the appraisal; construction usually runs through a construction-to-permanent loan.
