Austin, TX - November 13, 2025 - LendFriend Mortgage is helping entrepreneurs, freelancers, and business owners achieve homeownership with self employed home loans that focus on real income instead of just tax returns or pay stubs.
Many self-employed individuals face challenges when applying for traditional mortgages, as their earnings don’t always fit a standard paycheck model. LendFriend Mortgage changes that by looking at the full picture of a borrower’s finances, including bank statements and consistent cash flow.
This approach allows qualified buyers to secure a mortgage that matches their earning potential and lifestyle, to make the dream of owning a home accessible, simple, and stress-free.
Mortgage Solutions for Self-Employed Borrowers
Running your own business or freelancing comes with freedom, but it can make getting a mortgage harder than it should be. Traditional lenders don’t always understand variable income. They see inconsistent deposits or tax write-offs and assume risk, even when the reality is you’re thriving.
At LendFriend Mortgage, we look at the full picture. We specialize in self-employed mortgage programs, like bank statement loans, built for entrepreneurs and 1099 earners with non-traditional income.
Why Bank Statement Mortgages Work
Bank statement mortgage programs are designed specifically for self-employed borrowers and entrepreneurs. Instead of tax returns, lenders review 12–24 months of bank statements to calculate your average deposits and verify the consistency of your earnings. It’s a common-sense approach that reflects how you actually make money, without penalizing entrepreneurs for taking advantage of legitimate business write-offs. These programs make it simpler to qualify and offer faster approvals compared to traditional documentation-heavy processes.
Who Can Benefit from a Bank Statement Mortgage
Freelancers and Independent Contractors: Income may vary month to month, and bank statements show actual cash flow.
Small Business Owners: Taking significant business deductions can lower taxable income and hinder your mortgage qualification. Deposits reflect real earnings.
Entrepreneurs with Multiple Income Streams: Bank statements capture combined income from various sources.
1099 or Gig Economy Workers: Shows consistent deposits when W-2s aren’t available.
Newly Self-Employed Professionals: Even with less than two years of tax history, income can be verified through statements.
Advantages of Bank Statement Mortgages
