Buying a home in Shelby County when you're self-employed comes down to one thing: showing your true income. Bank statement loans do exactly that, averaging your monthly deposits to set your qualifying income. If most of your income is on 1099s, a 1099 loan can count roughly 90–100% of it instead. Our specialists work with self-employed borrowers throughout Shelby County, including Center and nearby areas.
Who qualifies in Shelby County
Self-employed 2+ years (1–2 years may work with experience)
12–24 months of bank statements
620+ credit and 10%%+ down
Roughly 50%% of monthly deposits counted as 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.
Gig income counts — document it right
Uber, DoorDash, Instacart, freelance platforms — lenders aggregate it all as self-employment income. Route payouts into one account, keep your 1099s, and show about two years of history. Bank statement and 1099 loans capture what the apps actually paid you, not what survived your mileage deduction.
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.
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.
Do bank statement loans work for real estate agents?
They're one of the best fits. Commission deposits qualify you, and 24 months of statements smooths seasonal swings. If your brokerage 1099s your gross commissions, a 1099 loan counting 90-100% of gross may be even stronger.
Can I buy an investment property?
Yes. Bank statement and DSCR loans can finance primary homes, second homes, and investment properties. Note Texas caps cash-out refinances on a primary residence at 80% of value.
Can I get a mortgage with an ITIN instead of a Social Security number?
Yes. ITIN loans underwrite with your IRS-issued taxpayer ID, typically with 10-20% down and two years of work history. Self-employed ITIN borrowers can often document income with bank statements.
Who is a bank statement loan best for?
Business owners, 1099 contractors, realtors, gig workers, and freelancers whose tax write-offs shrink their reported income but whose deposits show strong, steady cash flow.
How much of my deposits count as income?
Typically 100% of personal-account deposits, or about 50% of business-account deposits, sometimes adjusted by a CPA expense letter. Roughly $20,000/month in business deposits can support about a $350,000 home.
