Mortgage Solutions for Self-Employed Borrowers

Traditional income isn't your only path to home financing.

Alternative Income Mortgage Solutions

What Is an Alternative Income Mortgage?

Not every borrower fits inside traditional lending guidelines.

If your tax returns don’t accurately reflect your true income, a Non-QM (Non-Qualified Mortgage) loan may provide a better financing solution.

Instead of relying solely on tax returns, many Non-QM programs allow borrowers to qualify using alternative forms of income documentation, making homeownership possible for self-employed professionals, business owners, freelancers, retirees, and investors.

Which Option Is Right For You?

Bank Statement Loans
Ideal for business owners and self-employed borrowers who deposit regular income into personal or business bank accounts.

CPA Profit & Loss Loans
Use a CPA-prepared Profit & Loss Statement, along with supporting documentation, instead of tax returns on eligible programs.

Asset Utilization Loans
Qualify using retirement accounts, investment portfolios, savings, or other eligible assets instead of traditional employment income.

1099 Income Loans
Designed for independent contractors, freelancers, and commission-based professionals who receive 1099 income.
