What Is a 1099 Mortgage? | Leo Namiot FL Mortgages | Leo Lends FL Mortgage LenderA 1099 mortgage is a home loan designed for self-employed borrowers, independent contractors, and business owners in Jacksonville and St. Augustine who receive income through Form 1099. Instead of requiring full tax returns, lenders may use your 1099 income to help you qualify.This is a major advantage if you maximize tax deductions. Traditional loans often use your net income after write-offs, which can make qualifying harder. With a 1099 mortgage, you may qualify using your gross 1099 earnings, giving you more buying power and flexibility.Ideal for:• Self-employed borrowers• Realtors & commission-based professionals• Contractors & freelancers• Small business ownersIf you're buying or refinancing in Jackso...

Facing foreclosure can be overwhelming! Get the answers to the most common Florida foreclosure questions here!  How long do I have?The Florida foreclosure process is one of the longest in the country.

Find out more about the Florida foreclosure process here. Should I modify my loan? In a mortgage modification the lender makes permanent changes to the terms of your home loan resulting in a more affordable payment.
