We serve self-employed buyers from the county seat of Decatur to communities across Wise County.

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.
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.
Your write-offs stop working against you
The deductions that lower your tax bill also lower the income a conventional lender sees — which is why so many business owners get under-qualified or denied. A bank-statement loan flips that: your real deposits, not your write-off-reduced taxable income, drive your approval.
