Mortgages for Gig Workers

Turn your side hustle or gig economy income into homeownership. Flexible qualification for the modern freelancer.

The Modern Gig Economy Mortgage

The modern workforce is changing, but traditional banks haven't caught up. A frequent concern we hear is: "Can I get a mortgage with one year self-employment?" The answer is YES. Whether you drive for rideshare apps, do freelance design work, or piece together multiple income streams, we have programs specifically designed to calculate and accept your gig economy income.

📱 Multiple Income Streams

We can easily combine income from multiple 1099 sources (e.g., Uber, Doordash, freelance contracts) into one cohesive qualifying income.

💼 1099 & Bank Statements

Provide your 1099s or 12 months of bank deposits to prove your income. We completely bypass the strict W-2 requirements of old-school banks.

📈 Shorter Work History

While standard loans often require 2 full years of self-employment history, our alternative programs allow for shorter histories (even 1 year) if you have prior experience in your field.

🏠 First-Time Buyer Friendly

Many gig workers are buying their first home. We offer competitive rates and guidance to make the transition from renting to owning seamless.
