Question 1

Can I use both bank statements and a P&L to qualify?

Accepted Answer

Some lenders allow a hybrid approach. We can shop options across our lender network to find who accepts combined documentation.

Question 2

Do I need a CPA for a bank statement loan?

Accepted Answer

No CPA is required for a bank statement loan. You just provide 12 to 24 months of personal or business account statements.

Question 3

Which loan has the lower rate — bank statement or P&L?

Accepted Answer

Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions. Neither loan type is automatically cheaper — your credit score and LTV matter more.

Question 4

How long does my business need to be operating to qualify?

Accepted Answer

Most lenders want at least 2 years of self-employment history. Some P&L programs accept 12 months with strong income documentation.

Question 5

Are these loans available in rural parts of Imperial County?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Non-QM lenders we work with lend in Holtville and surrounding Imperial County areas. Property type and loan amount still affect approval.

Question 6

What credit score do I need for either loan?

Accepted Answer

Most non-QM lenders want a minimum 620 to 640 score. Higher scores open better pricing on both bank statement and P&L programs.
