Self-employed borrowers in Costa Mesa can't always show tax returns that reflect real income. These two non-QM loans solve that problem differently.
Bank Statement Loans use your actual deposits. P&L Loans use a CPA-prepared statement. Same goal — different evidence.
Bank Statement Loans look at 12 to 24 months of deposits — personal or business — to calculate your income. No tax returns required.
Lenders apply an expense factor to business accounts. Your qualifying income is the deposit total minus that factor. Personal accounts are simpler.
P&L Loans use a profit and loss statement prepared by a licensed CPA. That statement — not your bank activity — determines your qualifying income.
These loans typically require just 12 months of P&L history. If your business income is steady but deposits are irregular, this option may fit better.
Bank Statement Loans demand more documentation — hundreds of pages of statements. P&L Loans need far fewer documents but require a licensed CPA.
Income calculation differs sharply. Bank statements show raw cash flow. A P&L shows net profit — which could be higher or lower depending on your business.
Heavy tax writeoffs with strong monthly deposits? Bank Statement Loans typically produce a higher qualifying income for you.
Clean books and a CPA you trust? A P&L Loan is faster to document and often simpler to underwrite in Costa Mesa's competitive market.

P&L Loans often close faster. Fewer documents to review means underwriters move quicker when the CPA statement is clean.
