Qualify on deposits, not tax returns, in Trinity County
Buying a home in Trinity 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. Lenders count 12–24 months of deposits — often 50% of business or 100% of personal — as income. From Groveton to the surrounding towns, we help Trinity County business owners qualify on their deposits.

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.
Denied? The documentation was wrong, not the income
Most self-employed denials trace to one cause: the underwriter used post-write-off taxable income. The same file re-documented with 12-24 months of deposits, gross 1099s, or a CPA-prepared P&L often approves. Bring your denial letter — it tells the next loan officer exactly what to solve.
Jumbo loans without tax returns
Above the conforming limit — $832,750 in most Texas counties for 2026 — bank statement jumbo programs keep working. Expect larger down payments and deeper reserves than smaller loans, but the core trade holds: your deposits, not your post-write-off taxable income, set your buying power.
