Arizona Self-Employed Borrowers
Self-employed mortgage options in Arizona.
Traditional tax returns don't always tell the full story for business owners and self-employed borrowers. Depending on the loan program and borrower qualifications, we may be able to document income using bank statements, 1099s, or a Profit & Loss statement.
Why tax returns can be limiting
Write-offs can hide real cash flow.
Conventional files often lean on tax returns. That can understate cash flow for borrowers who run a real business, take legitimate deductions, or get paid on a 1099. Bank statement, 1099, and P&L programs still verify income—they just may use a different set of documents. Depending on the loan program and borrower qualifications, that can open a path that a traditional DTI calculation would miss.

You May Have More Ways to Qualify
Bank Statement Loans
Use personal or business bank statements to demonstrate qualifying income instead of relying solely on tax returns.
1099 Income
For eligible borrowers receiving 1099 income, qualifying income may be calculated using 1099 documentation rather than traditional tax returns.
P&L Programs
Certain programs may allow eligible self-employed borrowers to qualify using a prepared Profit & Loss statement.
