How to Buy a Home as a 1099 Employee

Buying your first home as a 1099 worker can feel overwhelming when your income doesn’t fit the traditional mold, but it doesn’t have to be. How to Buy a Home as a 1099 Employee is an in-person workshop designed specifically for self-employed professionals, contractors, and freelancers who want clear, realistic guidance on preparing for homeownership.

This session focuses on financial readiness for 1099 buyers, including income consistency, savings strategies, debt management, cash flow planning, and long-term preparation. You’ll also hear from a Tax Professional, who will cover common tax mistakes 1099 workers make, what lenders look for in tax returns, and what it truly means to be “ready” to buy a home.

You’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and practical next steps, no pressure, just education.

• Income consistency and how lenders view 1099 income
• Common write-off mistakes that hurt buying power
