1099 Only Mortgage Program for Sole Proprietor
Any industry is fine i.e., insurance sales, Real Estate Agents, Consultants, trades such as Construction. If the borrower has been employed with the same company for between one and two years, the borrower can provide the 2021 1099 and YTD earnings statement (paycheck stub) for 2022; tax returns and Form 4506-C (previously Form 4506-T) not required.
How Non-QM Lenders Calculate Self-Employed Income?
We will average 2022 and YTD 2023. We will add 2023 1099 incomes, we can average that dollar amount over the entire year, not from the start date. Unless the borrower does not have a 2020 earnings statement (profit and loss statement, for example), then we can use bank statements for the current year. We are better off just doing a bank statement loan this late in the year.
