1099 Income Self Employed Mortgages

Vibrato can help Arizona & Colorado self-employed borrowers obtain or refinance a mortgage utilizing only 1099 income to qualify — and not tax returns.

Qualifying with only 1099 income doesn't have to be difficult— we're here to help.

Our lending partners will allow the use of only 1099 income (without tax returns) if you've been in the same line of work for 2 years - woohoo!

If you've ran into issues qualifying for a mortgage because of your 1099-based compensation, call us.

Historically, 1099-based borrowers would be required to provide 2 years of personal tax returns to qualify - but not with Vibrato.
