Understanding Gig Worker Mortgages

As a gig economy worker, you're not alone in wanting to buy a home. But traditional mortgage options often don't account for the irregular income that comes with gig work. That's where we come in – with mortgage programs designed specifically for gig workers like you.

Our Bank Statement Loan program, for example, uses your bank statements to verify income, rather than tax returns. This makes it easier to qualify, even if you have irregular income.

Don't let irregular income hold you back from buying your dream home.

How to Qualify with Gig Income

Qualifying for a mortgage as a gig worker is different than for traditional employees. We'll need to document your income using either bank statements or tax returns. For bank statement loans, we'll average your monthly deposits over 12-24 months to determine your qualifying income.

  • Bank statements or tax returns
  • Average monthly deposit calculation
  • Credit score evaluation
