Question 1

Can I use P&L loans for investment properties in Morro Bay?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many P&L programs allow investment properties and vacation rentals. Some lenders combine your business P&L with rental property income for qualification.

Question 2

What if I've only been self-employed for 18 months?

Accepted Answer

Most lenders require 24 months of self-employment history. A few accept 12 months with strong reserves and higher down payments, typically 25-30%.

Question 3

Do all expenses on my P&L count against my income?

Accepted Answer

No. Lenders add back depreciation, one-time expenses, and certain non-cash items. A skilled CPA structures your P&L to maximize qualifying income.

Question 4

How long does P&L loan approval take?

Accepted Answer

Expect 30-45 days from application to closing. The CPA preparation and manual underwriting add time compared to automated conventional loans.

Question 5

Can I combine cryptocurrency assets with P&L income?

Accepted Answer

Some non-QM lenders now accept verified crypto holdings as reserves. This doesn't replace income verification but can strengthen your overall application.
