Big retail banks don't offer P&L loans. This is a non-QM product — meaning you need a wholesale lender or specialty shop to get it done.
We work with 200+ wholesale lenders. Several specialize in non-QM for high-income self-employed borrowers exactly like those buying in Laguna Beach.

P&L loans price higher than conventional. Expect rates above conforming benchmarks. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.

Bank Statement Loans average 12-24 months of deposits to calculate income. P&L loans can work when your bank statements look inconsistent.
1099 Loans suit contractors with clear 1099 income. Asset Depletion Loans work when you have significant reserves but low monthly income on paper.
