Question 1

Who prepares the P&L statement for this loan?

Accepted Answer

A licensed CPA must prepare and sign it. Bookkeeper-prepared or self-made statements are rejected by lenders.

Question 2

Can I use one year of P&L instead of two?

Accepted Answer

Some lenders accept 12 months. Expect a higher rate or stricter terms compared to a 24-month P&L.

Question 3

Do I need to show tax returns at all?

Accepted Answer

No. That's the point of this loan. Your CPA-certified P&L replaces tax return income verification entirely.

Question 4

What credit score do P&L lenders want?

Accepted Answer

Most non-QM lenders want at least 620–660. Higher scores get meaningfully better rates. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.

Question 5

Are P&L loans available for investment properties in Isleton?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Some investors use P&L loans, though DSCR loans are often a simpler fit for rental properties.

Question 6

How long does a P&L loan take to close?

Accepted Answer

Non-QM loans often close in 21–30 days. Having a complete, CPA-certified P&L ready at the start speeds things up.
