in Guadalupe, CA
Self-employed borrowers can't just hand a lender a W-2. These two non-QM loans solve that problem differently.
Both are built for business owners in Guadalupe. The right pick depends on how your income is documented.
Bank statement loans use 12 to 24 months of deposits to calculate your income. Lenders average your deposits and apply an expense factor.
This works well if your business account shows strong, consistent cash flow. Gaps or large irregular deposits can hurt you.
P&L loans use a CPA-prepared profit and loss statement — typically covering 12 to 24 months — to verify income.
If your tax returns show heavy write-offs but your P&L shows real profit, this loan can qualify you on stronger numbers.

P&L loans can be faster to process — one document versus two years of monthly statements. But lenders scrutinize P&L accuracy closely.
High gross deposits but heavy write-offs? Bank statement loans likely qualify you on more income.

Yes. We run scenarios on both loan types before you commit. That's how you know which one gives you more qualifying income.
Not necessarily. Pricing depends on credit score, down payment, and the lender. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Irregular deposits hurt bank statement loans. A P&L may be the stronger option if your profit is consistent even when deposits aren't.
Most lenders require a licensed, active CPA. Some accept enrolled agents. We confirm requirements with each lender before submission.
Most non-QM lenders want 10% to 20% down. Stronger credit scores and lower loan amounts can reduce that requirement.
