Bank statement & 1099 mortgages for Fort Bend County
If you've been told you 'make too much to qualify on paper' in Fort Bend 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. Many borrowers buy now and refinance into a conventional loan once their tax picture strengthens. We serve self-employed buyers from the county seat of Richmond to communities across Fort Bend County.

Your write-offs stop working against you
The deductions that lower your tax bill also lower the income a conventional lender sees — which is why so many business owners get under-qualified or denied. A bank-statement loan flips that: your real deposits, not your write-off-reduced taxable income, drive your approval.
ITIN loans: no Social Security number required
Taxpayers who file with an IRS-issued ITIN can buy a home through ITIN mortgage programs — typically 10-20% down, two years of work history, and credit shown by score or alternative trade lines like rent and utilities. Self-employed ITIN borrowers can often qualify with bank statements.
Jumbo loans without tax returns
Above the conforming limit — $832,750 in most Texas counties for 2026 — bank statement jumbo programs keep working. Expect larger down payments and deeper reserves than smaller loans, but the core trade holds: your deposits, not your post-write-off taxable income, set your buying power.
