DALLAS–FORT WORTH MORTGAGE SPECIALIST

Mortgage Options for Self-Employed Borrowers & Business Owners

Leahy Lending specializes in mortgage conversations for self-employed borrowers, business owners, contractors, and real estate investors whose income, documentation, or property goals may not fit a traditional lending approach.

We help borrowers in Dallas–Fort Worth explore bank-statement, 1099, profit and loss, asset-utilization, No Ratio, DSCR, Super Jumbo, and other available mortgage paths before they begin a secure application.

Program availability, documentation, pricing, and qualification requirements vary by borrower, property, lender, and loan program.

How Is Your Income Documented?

Traditional mortgage qualification often relies on tax returns and W-2 income. For business owners, contractors, and investors, the documentation conversation may be different. Start with the path that feels closest to your situation, or request a scenario review if you are not sure.

Bank Statement Mortgage Options

For some business owners, personal or business bank statements may be part of a broader income-documentation review when tax returns do not fully reflect the business picture.

Mortgage Options for 1099 Income

For independent contractors, consultants, freelancers, and other professionals with 1099-reported income, 1099 history may be part of a mortgage-income review.

Profit & Loss Mortgage Options

A current profit and loss statement may be relevant when a business’s recent profitability is an important part of the broader documentation conversation.

EXPLORE PROFIT & LOSS OPTIONS

Asset Utilization for Mortgages

For borrowers with substantial eligible assets, an asset-utilization review may help determine whether assets can be considered as part of a qualifying-income analysis.

EXPLORE ASSET-UTILIZATION OPTIONS

No Ratio Mortgage Options

For eligible borrowers, No Ratio programs may allow qualification without personal income or debt-to-income ratio calculations. Credit, assets, down payment, property, and other program requirements still apply.

NOT SURE WHICH PATH FITS?

You do not need to identify the right mortgage program before you speak with someone. Start with a scenario review and we can help identify the documentation conversation worth having next.

SELF-EMPLOYED MORTGAGE SPECIALISTS

You built your business. Your mortgage should account for the way you earn.

Self-employed borrowers often have financial profiles that do not fit a standard mortgage checklist. Business deductions, seasonal revenue, multiple income sources, contract work, retained earnings, cash flow, and assets can all affect the documents that may be relevant.

Leahy Lending focuses on alternative-documentation and non-QM mortgage conversations for business owners, self-employed borrowers, and investors. Depending on the available program and borrower profile, that may include bank statements, 1099 income, profit and loss documentation, asset utilization, No Ratio financing, DSCR, Super Jumbo, and other specialized options.

  • Bank-statement income documentation
  • 1099 income review
  • CPA-prepared profit and loss documentation
  • Asset-utilization review for eligible assets
  • No Ratio mortgage options for eligible borrowers
  • DSCR and investor financing conversations

Case-by-case financing paths up to $20 million may be available.

Alternative documentation

Bank Statement Mortgage Options

Personal or business bank statements may be reviewed as part of documenting income for an available program. Which statements are relevant, and how income is calculated, depends on the business, the property, and current program guidelines.

EXPLORE BANK STATEMENT OPTIONS

Mortgage Options for 1099 Income

For contractors, consultants, and freelancers, 1099 history may form part of a mortgage-income review. How much history is expected, and what else is documented, varies by borrower profile, lender, and loan program.

EXPLORE 1099 OPTIONS

Profit & Loss Mortgage Options

A current profit and loss statement, often CPA-prepared, may be relevant where recent business profitability matters to the documentation conversation. Availability and the documents expected depend on the program and the individual file.

EXPLORE PROFIT & LOSS OPTIONS

Asset Utilization for Mortgages

Verified eligible assets may be reviewed as part of a qualifying-income analysis. Which assets count, how long they must have been held, and the calculation method all depend on the specific program and borrower profile.

EXPLORE ASSET-UTILIZATION OPTIONS

No Ratio Mortgage Options

For eligible borrowers, No Ratio programs may allow qualification without personal income or debt-to-income ratio calculations. Credit, assets, down payment, property, and other program requirements still apply.

High-balance and investor financing

Super Jumbo Mortgages

For high-value purchases, refinances, and complex financial profiles. Available Super Jumbo mortgage programs up to $5 million. Case-by-case financing paths up to $20 million may be available. Which programs apply depends on the property, the documentation, and the borrower profile.

EXPLORE SUPER JUMBO OPTIONS

DSCR Investor Loans

For investment property, some programs review the property’s own rental income rather than personal income. Eligibility, the rental figures used, and final terms are determined individually and vary by program.

EXPLORE DSCR INVESTOR OPTIONS

Bridge Loans

Where the timing of a sale and a purchase do not line up, a bridge conversation looks at how the gap might be financed. Availability, term, and cost depend on both properties and the lender.

EXPLORE BRIDGE OPTIONS

Seller Financing / Buy Before You Sell

Two ways a transaction can be structured when a contingency or a seller’s terms are the obstacle. Whether either is workable depends on the parties, the property, and independent professional advice.

EXPLORE THESE OPTIONS

Additional specialty financing

Complex W-2, Bonus, Commission, and RSU Income

Variable compensation is documented differently from salary. Bonus, commission, and vesting income may each be reviewed with their own history requirements, and how much of it counts depends on the employer, the award schedule, the program, and the rest of the borrower profile.

EXPLORE VARIABLE INCOME OPTIONS

Jumbo Mortgage Options

The conforming limit is set county by county, so the same loan amount can be jumbo in one place and conforming in another. Reserve, documentation, and credit expectations are set by the lender.

EXPLORE JUMBO OPTIONS

Construction Financing

A custom build has to be financed through a period when the house does not yet exist. Draw schedules, contractor review, and conversion to permanent financing all depend on the project and the program.
