borrowing when 1099

[Denise Holder]

Hello,

Although there are great benefits to being a 1099 employee, borrowing is proving difficult.  I need to borrow 20k for a Reno of a cabin in the Allegheny mountains.  I went 1099 in January (less than 2 years) and conventional banks and credit unions won't touch me.  I don't need much, but who/where can I look for some funding? Also, I'm in Warren PA not Pittsburgh.  Thank you

Keep calling... try mortgage brokers. 

You should be able to find a lender that will lend to you that amount based off of your bank statements.
