La Habra sits at the northern edge of Orange County. It draws a strong mix of small business owners, contractors, and independent professionals.
A P&L loan lets your CPA-prepared statement stand in for tax returns. That matters when your write-offs make your taxable income look smaller than your actual cash flow.

Your CPA prepares a 12- or 24-month P&L statement. Lenders use that income figure — not your Schedule C — to qualify you.
Most lenders want a 680+ credit score for this product. Down payments typically start at 10%, though 20% gets you better pricing. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Most retail banks don't touch P&L loans. This product lives almost entirely in the non-QM wholesale market.
We work with 200+ wholesale lenders, and only a subset actively price P&L deals. Matching you to the right lender is most of the job.
The P&L has to be airtight. Lenders will scrutinize it — inconsistencies between your P&L and bank statements kill deals fast.
If your business deposits don't reasonably support the P&L income figure, expect pushback. Get your CPA and broker aligned before you apply.
Bank Statement Loans average 12–24 months of deposits to calculate income. P&L loans can work when deposits are inconsistent but profitability is clear.
1099 Loans fit independent contractors with steady 1099 income. Asset Depletion works for borrowers with large reserves but minimal income. Know which tool fits your situation.
La Habra has a dense small-business corridor along Imperial Highway. Owners of these businesses are exactly who P&L loans were designed for.
Orange County property values put many purchases above conventional loan thresholds. A P&L loan can be structured as a jumbo non-QM product when needed.
Your licensed CPA or tax professional must prepare and sign it. A borrower-prepared P&L is not accepted.
Yes. P&L loans are available statewide in California. Loan amounts can be sized for Orange County price points, including jumbo tiers.
Most P&L lenders do not require tax returns. That's the core advantage for borrowers with heavy write-offs.
Most lenders want at least two years of self-employment history. Some will consider 12 months with strong compensating factors.
Yes, non-QM products carry a rate premium over conventional loans. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
That gap will raise underwriter flags. Your broker should reconcile any differences before submitting the file.
