Tell us the price range, down payment and credit range you are working with. We compare every lender we work with and show you the options side by side.
03
P&L loans are non-QM products. Most big banks don't offer them. You need a broker with access to wholesale non-QM lenders.
We work with 200+ wholesale lenders — including non-QM specialists. That means we can shop your P&L across multiple programs.
04
The P&L has to be credible. Lenders will flag a statement that looks inflated or inconsistent with your business type.
Work with a CPA who has prepared P&Ls for mortgage purposes before. A clean, well-documented statement moves faster through underwriting.
05
Bank Statement loans use 12-24 months of deposits to calculate income. P&L loans use your accountant's income summary instead.
If your deposits are messy or commingled, a P&L loan may qualify you at a higher income than bank statements would show.
06
Santa Clara County is one of the most expensive markets in California. P&L loans can qualify for high loan amounts — critical here.
Tech consultants, startup operators, and small business owners in San Jose are the core use case. This loan is built around their income profile.
