Self-employed home loans across Washington County
Business owners and 1099 earners in Washington County have options beyond the conventional box. Bank statement, 1099, and P&L loan programs qualify you on real income — your deposits — so write-offs don't sink your application. Real estate investors can use DSCR loans that qualify on a property's rental cash flow alone. From Brenham to the surrounding towns, we help Washington County business owners qualify on their deposits.

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.
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.
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.
