Self-employed, paid in cash deposits, filing with an ITIN, or buying an investment property? A standard W-2 loan isn't the only path. With Willow Bend we work with multiple lending partners, which means we can match you to programs a single bank simply can't offer.
See What I Qualify ForPlenty of hard-working people get turned away because their income doesn't show up neatly on a tax return — even when they can clearly afford the home. These programs were built for exactly those situations. Here's a plain-English look at the most common ones we help with.
Instead of tax returns and W-2s, we look at 12–24 months of your bank deposits to show your real cash flow. Ideal when write-offs make your tax return look smaller than your actual income.
Best for: business owners, 1099 contractors, gig & cash-flow earners.File your taxes with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number instead of an SSN? You can still buy a home. We work with ITIN borrowers all the time here in the Valley — it's common, and you're welcome.
Best for: ITIN tax filers ready to own instead of rent.Buying a rental? A DSCR loan can qualify on the property's own rental income covering the payment — not your personal income or tax returns. Great for growing a portfolio without the usual income paperwork.
Best for: landlords & real estate investors, new or seasoned.Strong assets or a solid business but a complicated tax picture? Some programs let you qualify using assets or a CPA-prepared profit-and-loss statement instead of traditional income docs.
Best for: retirees, business owners, complex-income borrowers.A past bankruptcy, foreclosure, or a credit bump doesn't have to mean "no." There are programs designed for borrowers rebuilding — sometimes far sooner than people expect.
Best for: anyone told "wait a few years" by another lender.Higher loan amounts or a unique property type can fall outside standard guidelines. We have partners who specialize in these so a bigger goal doesn't mean a dead end.
Best for: higher-value homes & one-of-a-kind properties.A single bank can only offer what's on its own shelf. Because Willow Bend works with multiple lending partners, we shop your situation across many programs and bring you the one that actually fits — all from one person you can reach and trust.
You talk to me. I do the matching, the legwork, and the explaining — in English or Spanish.
If one path doesn't fit, there's usually another. We find it instead of turning you away.
Cash income, ITIN, past credit trouble — bring it all. We've seen it and we have a plan for it.
The fastest way to know your options is a quick conversation. Tell me how you earn and what you're trying to buy — I'll tell you which doors are open. Sencillo y sin compromiso.
