Question 1

Who prepares the P&L for this loan?

Accepted Answer

A licensed CPA must prepare and sign it. A bookkeeper or self-prepared statement won't be accepted by non-QM lenders.

Question 2

Do I need to show tax returns too?

Accepted Answer

No. That's the point of this loan. The P&L replaces tax returns as the primary income document.

Question 3

How much can I borrow in Cupertino with a P&L loan?

Accepted Answer

Loan limits depend on the lender. Many non-QM lenders go to $3M or higher for well-qualified borrowers. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.

Question 4

What if my P&L shows lower income than I actually earn?

Accepted Answer

That's a common problem. If your CPA writes off aggressively, your qualifying income drops. We can walk through whether bank statements would show a stronger picture.

Question 5

Are P&L loan rates higher than conventional rates?

Accepted Answer

Yes, typically. Non-QM products carry more lender risk, so rates run higher. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

Plan for 21–30 days once your CPA delivers a complete P&L. Delays almost always come from incomplete documentation, not lender processing.
