Want Your Exact 1099 Qualifying Number?

Non-QM lenders average your 1099 totals over 12 or 24 months — then may cross-check deposits — to build monthly qualifying income.

Most 1099 Non-QM programs follow a straightforward average — not Schedule C taxable income.

Small file details can move qualifying income up or down.

Income calculation overlays vary by investor and can change without notice.

Ryan & Steve total every 1099 in the lookback, apply the investor average, then spot-check deposits so you know the DTI number before you make an offer.

If write-offs crush AGI but deposits are strong, we also compare bank statement Non-QM so you see which path qualifies for more house payment.

Guidelines are educational — every file is reviewed against current product rules for credit, LTV, and occupancy.
