in Milpitas, CA
Self-employed buyers in Milpitas rarely qualify on tax returns alone. Both these loans solve that problem — differently.
Bank statement loans use your actual deposits. P&L loans use a CPA's summary of your business income. Same goal, different proof.
Bank statement loans look at 12 to 24 months of deposits. Lenders calculate your income from what actually hits your account.
You don't need a CPA. Your statements do the talking. This works well for borrowers with strong, consistent cash flow.
P&L loans require a profit and loss statement prepared by a licensed CPA. That document summarizes your business income.
Less paperwork upfront — but your CPA needs to sign off. Works best when your P&L shows strong net income.
Bank statement loans are harder to qualify with if your deposits are irregular. P&L loans smooth that out — but only if your profit numbers hold up.
Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions. P&L loans sometimes carry slightly higher rates. Lenders see them as a thinner paper trail.
