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.
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.
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.
