Secure Your Dream Home: Self‑Employed Home Loans Made Simple

As a self‑employed individual, you deserve a home loan that recognizes the way you earn and manage your income. Ameritrust Mortgage specializes in lending solutions tailored for entrepreneurs, freelancers, independent contractors, and business owners.


With more than three decades of experience since our founding in 1986, we understand the complexities of self‑employment and offer flexible Non‑QM and DSCR options designed to support your financial success.

  • Non‑Qualified Mortgage Lending
  • DSCR Loans
  • Customized loan options for self‑employed borrowers
  • Same‑day free estimates
  • Bilingual services (English and Spanish)
  • Interpreter services when needed


Reach out today to explore the loan options that fit your business and lifestyle.


Signs You May Qualify for a Self‑Employed Home Loan

You may be a strong candidate for a self‑employed mortgage if you have:

  • Stable or growing business income
  • Consistent cash flow
  • A solid credit profile
  • Organized financial records
  • Savings available for a down payment
  • Clear separation of business and personal finances
  • A desire to invest in property
  • A need for more space, including a home office


Ameritrust Mortgage evaluates your full financial picture to help you choose the right path.


Common Income Paths for Self‑Employed Borrowers

Self‑employed borrowers often qualify using alternative income documentation, including:

  • Bank statements (personal or business)
  • 1099 income for contractors and gig workers
  • Profit & Loss (P&L) statements
  • Asset depletion as an income proxy


These Non‑QM income paths help capture your true earning power, even when tax returns don’t reflect your full financial strength.


Documentation Tips for Self‑Employed Borrowers

Providing clear, organized documentation can strengthen your loan application. Consider:

  • Keeping business and personal accounts separate
  • Maintaining accurate bookkeeping and expense tracking
  • Preparing updated P&L statements when needed
  • Understanding how business write‑offs may reduce taxable income but not actual cash flow
  • Having bank statements ready to verify deposits and reserves


Our team helps you determine which documentation path best supports your qualification.


Why Self‑Employed Professionals Need Specialized Home Loans

Traditional mortgages often don’t reflect the realities of self‑employment. Ameritrust Mortgage offers solutions that:

  • Accommodate fluctuating income patterns
  • Consider business assets and cash flow
  • Provide alternatives to standard tax‑return verification
  • Support borrowers with less than two years of self‑employment history
  • Account for tax write‑offs without penalizing borrowing power
  • Offer DSCR loans for investment properties
  • Work with complex financial structures
  • Provide Non‑QM options for unique income situations


We turn complex financial profiles into clear, achievable home‑loan solutions.
