in Willits, CA
Most Willits self-employed borrowers can't qualify with tax returns. These two non-QM loans solve that problem differently.
Bank statement loans use your actual deposits. P&L loans use a CPA's income summary. Same goal, different proof.
Bank statement loans look at 12 to 24 months of deposits. Lenders calculate your income from what actually hit your account.
This works well if your revenue is consistent and your bank statements are clean. Heavy cash transactions or mixed personal and business accounts can complicate the review.
P&L loans require a profit and loss statement prepared by a licensed CPA. Some lenders accept just 12 months of P&L history.
This is the faster path if your deposits are irregular or hard to document. Your CPA's numbers do the heavy lifting.
