Self-Employed Home Loans

Loan programs built for how you actually earn

Your tax strategy shouldn’t cost you the house. These programs let self-employed borrowers qualify with bank statements, 1099s, a profit-and-loss statement, or assets — no tax returns required when you document income another way. One application, priced and matched across 25+ non-QM investors.

  • Primary, second home, or investment

Beyond the core programs

Specialty property and investor options

Because we broker across a deep non-QM investor set, we can also place property types most lenders decline outright — and point investors toward the right cash-flow-based option.

Non-warrantable condos

Financing for condos that don’t meet conventional warrantability rules — high investor concentration, ongoing litigation, or mixed-use projects — from roughly $250K to $2M.

Condotels

Condo-hotel units, which most lenders decline outright, financed up to 70% loan-to-value to $4M.

DSCR investor loans

Investment-property loans that qualify on the property’s rental cash flow rather than your personal income — available through our team on request.
