Question 1

Can I use both personal and business bank statements?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most lenders accept either. Business statements may require an expense factor applied to your deposits to calculate qualifying income.

Question 2

Who qualifies as an acceptable CPA for a P&L loan?

Accepted Answer

Most lenders require a licensed CPA or enrolled agent. A bookkeeper alone usually doesn't meet the standard.

Question 3

Which loan type has lower rates in Corning?

Accepted Answer

Bank statement loans typically price better. P&L loans carry more lender risk, so rates run slightly higher. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.

Question 4

How far back do bank statements need to go?

Accepted Answer

Most lenders want 12 months minimum. Some require 24 months to average out seasonal income swings.

Question 5

Can I switch from a P&L loan to a bank statement loan mid-process?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it restarts documentation review. It's faster to decide upfront — that's what we help you figure out before you apply.
