Perris draws a lot of self-employed borrowers — contractors, truckers, small business owners. Standard loan programs almost always fail them.
A P&L loan uses a CPA-prepared profit and loss statement to prove income. No tax returns. No W-2s. Just your actual business numbers.

Profit & Loss Statement Loans in Perris
Your CPA prepares a 12- or 24-month P&L statement. Lenders use that to calculate qualifying income — not your Schedule C write-offs.
Most lenders want a 680+ credit score and 10-20% down. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
P&L loans are non-QM — meaning most banks won't touch them. You need a broker with access to wholesale non-QM lenders.
At SRK CAPITAL, we work with 200+ wholesale lenders. Several specialize in P&L programs for Inland Empire borrowers.
The most common mistake: borrowers hand over a P&L their bookkeeper typed up in Excel. Lenders reject those immediately.
Your CPA needs to prepare and sign the statement on their letterhead. Some lenders also require a CPA license number. Get that right before you apply.
Bank statement loans look at 12-24 months of deposits. P&L loans look at what your CPA says you earned. Each works better depending on how your business is structured.
If your deposits are messy or you commingle funds, a P&L loan may underwrite cleaner. Your broker should run both scenarios before you commit.
Riverside County has a large base of independent contractors, logistics operators, and trades workers. Many write off heavily on taxes — and kill their qualifying income doing it.
A P&L loan bypasses that problem entirely. What matters is what your CPA certifies you earned, not what the IRS sees.
A licensed CPA must prepare and sign it. Borrower-prepared or bookkeeper P&Ls are not accepted by lenders.
Some lenders allow 10% down on P&L loans. Expect higher rates at that tier. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Most lenders want a P&L dated within 60 days of your application. Your CPA should be ready to move quickly.
No. It still shows on your credit report as a mortgage. The difference is in how your income gets verified, not how the loan is reported.
Most P&L lenders set the floor at 680. Some go to 660 with stronger reserves or a larger down payment.
Pricing is competitive between the two. The right choice depends on your business structure — your broker should compare both. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
