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.

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.

How much you'll put down

Most bank-statement programs start around 10% down, with better pricing at 15–20%+. If your credit or deposit history is on the lighter side, a larger down payment is often the lever that gets you approved.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.

How much down payment do I need?

Most bank statement programs start around 10%, with stronger pricing at 15–20%+. A larger down payment can offset a lower credit score or thinner deposit history.

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.

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.
