If you run a business, contract, or freelance in Henderson 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. Down payments often start around 10%, with stronger pricing at 15–20%. We serve self-employed buyers from the county seat of Athens to communities across Henderson County.

1099 loans for contractors and gig workers
If most of your income arrives on 1099s, a 1099 loan may beat a bank-statement loan — lenders can count roughly 90–100% of your gross 1099 earnings, rather than discounting business deposits by half. It's built for freelancers, consultants, and independent contractors.
12 vs. 24 months of statements
Lenders accept either 12 or 24 months of personal or business statements. Twelve months gets you to the finish line faster, while 24 months smooths out seasonal swings and often produces a higher, more defensible qualifying 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.
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.
Should I use 12 or 24 months of statements?
Both are accepted. Twelve months is faster; 24 months usually produces a more accurate, stronger income figure — especially if your business is seasonal or your monthly deposits swing up and down.
What is a bank statement loan?
It's a mortgage that qualifies self-employed borrowers on 12–24 months of bank deposits instead of tax returns. If your write-offs make your taxable income look low, this counts your real cash flow instead.
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.
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.
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.
