Financing a Texas barndominium
Texas is the most barndo-friendly lending market in the country, but financing is still lender-by-lender: appraisals hinge on comparable metal-building home sales, which rural Texas counties actually have. Completed barndos fit portfolio and non-QM programs; new builds usually run through construction-to-permanent loans with a licensed builder.
How much you'll put down
Most bank-statement programs start around 10% down, with better pricing at 15–20%+. If your credit or deposit history is on the lighter side, a larger down payment is often the lever that gets you approved.
Realtors: qualify on your commissions
Agents deduct heavily — mileage, marketing, MLS dues, splits — so the net income a conventional lender sees rarely reflects real earnings. Bank statement loans count your commission deposits, and 1099 loans count 90-100% of your gross 1099 — two clean paths to the home you've been selling everyone else.
