Last updated: Sep 12, 2025 07:07 PM (CST)

Flexible Home Loans for Self-Employed & Unique Income

At Lock It Mortgage, we make it simple for business owners, self-employed individuals, 1099 contractors, and real estate investors to buy a home or refinance. Our programs allow you to qualify based on your actual financial strength. By using non-traditional income documentation, often called Non-QM loans, these flexible solutions provide the financing you need without the headache of standard tax returns, W-2s, or pay stubs.

If you have a solid down payment, reliable credit, and are ready to buy or invest but don't fit into standard mortgage rules, this is your path forward.

Disclaimer: This is not a commitment to lend. All loans are subject to credit review, underwriting approval, and specific program guidelines. References to "Non-Traditional Income Docs", or Non-QM loans apply strictly to specialized mortgage programs. Instead of using traditional W-2s, pay stubs, or tax returns, these programs evaluate your financial strength using alternative records. These may include consecutive personal or business bank statements, verified Profit and Loss (P&L) statements, written verifications of employment, or Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) cash flow analysis for investment properties. Please note that these are not "stated income" or "no-doc" loans. Borrowers must still clearly prove their ability to repay the loan using these alternative documentation methods. Minimum credit scores, higher asset reserve requirements, and stricter down payment or loan-to-value limits will apply depending on the specific wholesale investor guidelines assigned to your file. Loan terms, program availability, and underwriting requirements are subject to change without notice.
