Profit & Loss Statement Loans in Hawaiian Gardens
Hawaiian Gardens sits in a pocket where small business ownership runs deep. Restaurant owners, contractors, and local shop operators often write off most of their income.
Traditional loans use tax returns that show minimal earnings. P&L loans bypass that by using your actual business cash flow instead.
Most borrowers here find conventional underwriting impossible. The CPA-prepared P&L statement shows what you really make, not what the IRS sees.
You need two years in your current business and a CPA letter confirming your P&L is accurate. Credit minimums typically hit 680, though some lenders go to 660.
Down payment starts at 15% for primary homes. Investment properties need 20-25% depending on the lender and your credit profile.
Your P&L must show consistent or growing income. Lenders average the last 12-24 months to calculate qualifying income.
About 30 of our 200+ wholesale lenders offer P&L programs. Each one has different rules about how the CPA letter must look and what supporting docs they require.
Some want to see business bank statements alongside the P&L. Others accept the P&L alone if your CPA has been doing your books for at least a year.
Rate spread between lenders can hit 0.75% on identical scenarios. Shopping matters more here than on conventional loans.
The CPA letter is where most deals blow up. It needs specific wording about how the P&L was prepared and whether the CPA verified the underlying records.
Many CPAs balk at signing off on language that implies audit-level scrutiny. Find one who understands mortgage requirements before you start the application.
If your P&L shows income spikes from one-time events, underwriters will exclude those. Consistent monthly revenue is what gets approved.
Bank statement loans require 12-24 months of deposits but no CPA. P&L loans need the CPA letter but often qualify you on higher income since they exclude business expenses.
1099 loans work if you get 1099s from clients. P&L loans work when you're the business owner and income flows through an LLC or sole proprietorship.
Asset depletion makes sense if you have significant cash but inconsistent P&L. DSCR loans work for investment property when the rental income covers the mortgage.
Hawaiian Gardens has limited inventory and homes move fast when priced right. Getting pre-approved with a P&L loan takes 3-5 business days if your CPA has the letter ready.
Property values here mean most purchases fall under conforming limits. But if you're shopping in neighboring Long Beach or Cerritos, you may cross into jumbo territory where rates adjust.
Many borrowers here own multi-generational properties or small rental units. Make sure your lender understands mixed-use if that applies to your purchase.
Most lenders require two full years in your current business. Some accept one year if you worked in the same industry previously and can document continuity.
Your CPA must hold an active license in good standing. The lender will verify their credentials and may require proof of their professional liability insurance.
Expect rates 0.75-1.50% above conventional. Rates vary by credit score, down payment, and lender pricing. Shopping across multiple lenders narrows that gap.
No. Down payment assistance programs require standard income documentation. P&L loans are non-QM products that don't qualify for government-backed assistance.
Declining income usually triggers denial. Underwriters need stable or growing profit trends to confirm you can sustain the mortgage payment long-term.
