18/12/2025 – Austin, Texas – LendFriend Mortgage, a leading mortgage brokerage based in Austin, has officially introduced specialized self-employed mortgage solutions aimed at entrepreneurs, freelancers, and independent business owners seeking a simpler path to homeownership.

Traditional mortgage lenders often rely heavily on tax returns and long employment histories, making it difficult for self-employed individuals to qualify—even with strong income. LendFriend Mortgage addresses this challenge by offering alternative qualification methods, including bank statement-based programs that reflect real cash flow rather than paper deductions.

“Our mission is to remove unnecessary hurdles for self-employed homebuyers,” said Eric Bernstein, President of LendFriend Mortgage. “We recognize that entrepreneurs earn income in different ways, and our mortgage programs are built to reflect that reality while keeping the process smooth and transparent.”

Self-Employed Mortgage Programs Available

LendFriend Mortgage now offers multiple loan options designed specifically for non-traditional earners:

Bank Statement Mortgage Loans – Approval based on 12 to 24 months of personal or business bank statements instead of tax returns.

1099 Income Mortgages – Ideal for freelancers and independent contractors earning through 1099 income.

Profit & Loss-Based Loans – Suitable for newer businesses or entrepreneurs with limited tax filing history.

These flexible mortgage programs help borrowers increase their purchasing power and often allow closings in as little as 30 days, without excessive documentation.
