Mortgages, cash-out & HELOCs for trade business owners

Your truck is a write-off.
Your approval shouldn’t be.

A plumber grossing $250K can look broke to a bank — the truck, tools, mileage, and Section 179 deductions see to that. Our specialists qualify you on deposits or 1099s. Real revenue, real approval, taxes untouched.

Good accounting is bad mortgage optics. Until now.

Deduct a $60K truck, $15K of equipment, mileage, insurance, and the home office and your $250K of real revenue reads as $70K taxable — which is all a conventional underwriter can use. Amending returns to “show more income” costs a five-figure check to the IRS. Deposit-based programs skip the whole problem: 12–24 months of what actually landed in your accounts, times an industry expense factor, is your income.

We speak fluent trade business

Deposits are the qualification

Bank statement programs read business or personal accounts — card-reader settlements, checks, and deposited cash all count. Seasonal swings average out.

Subs and 1099 crews covered

Sub for GCs or builders on 1099s? Those totals qualify you at roughly 90% of gross — no returns.

Newer shops welcome

Twelve months self-employed with prior W-2 trade history opens several programs. Your apprenticeship years count for exactly this.

Working capital, without touching the business

The Tradesman HELOC & HELOAN

A line against your home equity that funds the next truck, a second crew, or the slow season — qualified on deposits, priced better than equipment financing, and completely separate from your business credit.

Owners who got read right

"My tax return says I make $68K. My bank statements say $23K a month. One lender finally read the right document — closed in 20 days."

"Used the HELOC to put a second van and crew on the road. Paid for itself in a season, and it beat the equipment-loan quote by a mile."
Sam D. · Tradesman HELOC · Columbus, OH
"Cash-out consolidated everything from the buildout. Nobody asked why my Schedule C looks the way every contractor's does."

Fair questions, straight answers

My tax returns show low income from write-offs. Can I still qualify?

Yes — that's the entire point of bank statement (deposits) and 1099 (gross contractor income) programs. Deductions never enter the math.

Does cash income count?

Once it's deposited, yes — statement programs read your accounts. Depositing consistently for 12+ months before applying directly raises your qualifying income.

Is a HELOC smarter than equipment financing for a truck?

Often — home-equity pricing usually beats equipment loans, and it keeps your business credit free. A specialist runs both numbers with you.

I went out on my own last year. Too soon?

Usually not — several programs accept 12 months of self-employment with prior W-2 history in the same trade.
