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.
Close your rental in an LLC
DSCR loans commonly close in an entity's name, which is why investors love them: liability separation, no personal income docs, and qualification that's just the property's rent divided by its full payment (PITIA). A ratio of 1.0 covers the payment; 1.25+ earns the best pricing.
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.
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.
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.
What documents will I need?
Generally 12–24 months of statements, proof of self-employment (license, incorporation docs, or a CPA letter), and asset statements for your down payment and reserves.
What DSCR ratio do lenders want?
A DSCR of 1.0 means rent covers the full payment; many lenders price best at 1.25 or higher. Some programs allow ratios below 1.0 with stronger down payments and reserves.
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.
Can I buy an investment property?
Yes. Bank statement and DSCR loans can finance primary homes, second homes, and investment properties. Note Texas caps cash-out refinances on a primary residence at 80% of value.
Can gig income from Uber or DoorDash qualify?
Yes — it's self-employment income. Lenders aggregate deposits or 1099s across platforms; about two years of history is the norm. Route payouts into one account so every dollar is verifiable.
How much of my deposits count as income?
Typically 100% of personal-account deposits, or about 50% of business-account deposits, sometimes adjusted by a CPA expense letter. Roughly $20,000/month in business deposits can support about a $350,000 home.
