This guide helps solo contractors, gig workers, and small real-estate investors in Sacramento County understand their personal financing options — from personal loans and lines of credit to ITIN-based lending. It highlights local credit unions, CDFIs, and community lenders who actually serve Sacramento residents, including those without a Social Security number.

Take your time, compare your options, and never sign anything you do not fully understand.
