Who qualifies in Stephens 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
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.
ITIN loans: no Social Security number required
Taxpayers who file with an IRS-issued ITIN can buy a home through ITIN mortgage programs — typically 10-20% down, two years of work history, and credit shown by score or alternative trade lines like rent and utilities. Self-employed ITIN borrowers can often qualify with bank statements.
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.
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 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.
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.
Do I need tax returns or W-2s?
No. Income is verified from your deposits (or 1099s/P&L), so no tax returns or W-2s are required to document income — just proof of self-employment and consistent statements.
Will moving money between my accounts hurt my application?
It can muddy the file. Transfers between your own accounts get excluded so they aren't double-counted, and frequent overdrafts or NSFs are red flags. Keep deposits clean and consistent in the months before applying.
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.
