Qualify on deposits, not tax returns, in Dawson County
Buying a home in Dawson County when you're self-employed comes down to one thing: showing your true income. Bank statement loans do exactly that, averaging your monthly deposits to set your qualifying income. Primary homes, second homes, and investment properties can all qualify. We serve self-employed buyers from the county seat of Lamesa to communities across Dawson County.
Who qualifies in Dawson 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
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.
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.
DSCR loans for real estate investors
Buying a rental? A DSCR loan qualifies you on the property's cash flow instead of your personal income — no tax returns, no pay stubs. With interest-only options and entity (LLC) eligibility, it's the go-to for investors growing a portfolio.
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.
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.
How much of my deposits count as income?
Typically 100% of personal-account deposits, or about 50% of business-account deposits, sometimes adjusted by a CPA expense letter. Roughly $20,000/month in business deposits can support about a $350,000 home.
Can I buy an investment property?
Yes. Bank statement and DSCR loans can finance primary homes, second homes, and investment properties. Note Texas caps cash-out refinances on a primary residence at 80% of value.
Can I close a DSCR loan in my LLC's name?
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.
How long do I need to be self-employed?
Typically two years, though one year may work if you have prior experience in the same line of work. We'll help you find the program that fits your timeline.
