If you run a business, contract, or freelance in Hardeman County, a conventional lender's reliance on tax returns can work against you. Bank statement loans count your actual cash flow — often 50% of business deposits or 100% of personal — to get you qualified. No W-2s and no tax returns are required to document your income. We serve self-employed buyers from the county seat of Quanah to communities across Hardeman County.
Who qualifies in Hardeman County

12–24 months of bank statements
620+ credit and 10%%+ down
Roughly 50%% of monthly deposits counted as income
Reserves: what lenders want to see
Non-QM programs typically want about 3 to 12 months of PITI — your full monthly payment — sitting in reserves, with larger loans requiring more. Strong reserves can offset a lower score or a thinner deposit history.
Asset depletion: your portfolio is your paycheck
Retirees and business sellers can qualify by converting verified assets into income — commonly eligible assets divided over a set number of months. Cash counts fully, securities and retirement funds at a discount. No employment, no tax returns: the balance sheet does the talking.
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.
A profit-and-loss loan lets you qualify using a CPA-prepared P&L statement, sometimes with fewer bank statements. It's another non-QM path when bank-statement deposits alone don't tell the full story.
Can gig income from Uber or DoorDash qualify?
Yes — it's self-employment income. Lenders aggregate deposits or 1099s across platforms; about two years of history is the norm. Route payouts into one account so every dollar is verifiable.
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.
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.
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.
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.
