Profit & Loss Statement Loans in Windsor
Windsor's self-employed professionals face a challenge common across Sonoma County. Your CPA writes off expenses that save on taxes but crush your qualified income.
P&L statement loans solve this by using your business income before write-offs. Most lenders accept a year-to-date P&L from your CPA, sometimes just six months.
This works for Windsor's mix of contractors, wine industry consultants, and small business owners who show strong cash flow but minimal taxable income.
You need a CPA-prepared P&L covering at least six months, sometimes twelve. The CPA must be licensed and unrelated to you.
Minimum credit score sits at 640, though 680 gets better pricing. Down payment starts at 15% for owner-occupied homes, 20-25% for investment properties.
Your business must show consistent income month to month. Lenders average the P&L period and verify your business exists through licensing or registration.
About 30 non-QM lenders in our network offer P&L programs. Rate spreads run 150-250 basis points over conventional depending on credit and equity.
Some lenders want a full year of P&L data. Others accept six months if your business is seasonal or you're early in the fiscal year.
Rate locks matter more here than conventional loans. Non-QM pricing shifts weekly based on investor appetite, so timing your lock saves money.
Most self-employed borrowers assume they need two years of tax returns. That's conventional lending thinking, and it kills half our deals before they start.
P&L loans work when your current year income exceeds what you filed last April. We've closed Windsor contractors showing $180K this year after reporting $95K taxable.
The CPA letter matters enormously. It must state they prepared the P&L, the business is ongoing, and income is consistent. Sloppy letters from your accountant cause denials.
Bank statement loans use 12-24 months of deposits to calculate income. P&L loans use current year business profit certified by your CPA.
Bank statement works better if your CPA can't separate business from personal expenses cleanly. P&L works better if you're having a strong year.
Asset depletion ignores income entirely and qualifies you on liquid assets. That's a different tool for retired business owners or those between ventures.
Windsor home prices require loan amounts that push into jumbo territory. P&L loans cap around $3-4M depending on the lender, enough for most Windsor properties.
Sonoma County self-employed borrowers often have irregular income tied to harvest cycles, construction seasons, or tourism. P&L loans handle that if the average works.
Appraisals in Windsor sometimes surprise buyers from San Francisco. The town's mix of newer subdivisions and older homes creates valuation quirks that affect equity calculations.
No. Every lender requires a CPA-prepared P&L with a signed letter. The CPA must be licensed and unrelated to you or your business.
Most P&L programs require 12 months of business history. Some accept six months if you have prior industry experience, but eight months typically doesn't work.
Lenders call your CPA directly to confirm they prepared it. They also check CPA licensing and may request business bank statements as backup documentation.
Yes. Expect rates 1.5-2.5% higher than conventional. You're paying for flexibility in income verification that traditional lending doesn't offer.
Absolutely. Many Windsor business owners refinance this way after their income structure changes or they increase write-offs for tax purposes.
Lenders average the entire P&L period. One down month won't kill the deal if the overall average supports your loan amount and debt ratios.
