Home Loans for Self-Employed Mortgage in Texas

Looking to buy your dream home in Texas but self-employment makes traditional mortgage approval tricky? At Michael Fahey at Texas Mortgage Associates, we make home financing accessible for self-employed borrowers with flexible Non-QM mortgage options. Our solutions allow you to qualify using alternative mortgage documentation such as bank statements, profit and loss statements, or 1099 forms—helping small business owners, freelancers, contractors, and gig workers secure the home of their dreams.

Self-Employed Mortgage Loans Designed for You

Navigating the mortgage process as a self-employed borrower can be complex, but our Non-QM mortgage programs are designed to simplify approval. We guide you through the mortgage application process for self-employed borrowers, including income verification for freelancers and business income documentation, so you can move forward confidently.

Michael Fahey at Texas Mortgage Associates provides guidance throughout the entire mortgage process—from pre-approval to closing—ensuring you understand:

  • Mortgage qualification requirements for self-employed borrowers
  • Debt-to-Income (DTI) ratio considerations

  • Using gift funds for down payment when applicable

Flexible Non-QM Loan Programs for Every Self-Employed Borrower

Our mortgage programs are tailored to meet the needs of self-employed borrowers across Texas:

Bank Statement Mortgages

Profit & Loss Statement Loans

Business owners can leverage profit and loss statements to show financial stability, proving you have a reliable income stream despite irregular earnings.

1099 & Alternative Income Verification

Contractors, freelancers, and gig workers can use 1099s and other alternative documents to support their application, enabling approval without conventional documentation.
