Moorpark has a strong base of small business owners and independent contractors. Standard W-2 underwriting fails most of them.
A P&L loan uses a CPA-prepared profit and loss statement to verify income. No tax returns required — that's the point.

Your CPA prepares a 12- or 24-month P&L showing business income. Lenders use that figure — not your Schedule C write-downs.
Most lenders want a 680+ credit score and 10–20% down. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Most banks don't touch P&L loans. This is a non-QM product — meaning it lives outside Fannie and Freddie guidelines.
Wholesale non-QM lenders price these loans differently. Rates and overlays vary widely. Shopping matters here.
The biggest mistake I see: borrowers submit a P&L their bookkeeper drafted. Most lenders require a licensed CPA signature.
If your write-offs crushed your taxable income, a P&L loan may show a much stronger income picture than your returns do.
Bank statement loans average 12–24 months of deposits. P&L loans are simpler — one document from your CPA.
1099 loans work if your clients report your pay to the IRS. P&L loans work even without that paper trail.
Moorpark sits in Ventura County, where home prices push most buyers past conforming loan limits. P&L loans can go jumbo.
Local business owners in trades, consulting, and agriculture are common P&L borrowers in this market.
Yes. Lenders require a licensed CPA to prepare and sign it. A bookkeeper or self-prepared P&L won't clear underwriting.
Many lenders accept 12 months. Some require 24. Twelve-month P&Ls often carry slightly higher rates.
No. That's the core benefit. The P&L replaces tax return income verification entirely on these programs.
Most lenders start at 680. Some non-QM lenders go lower, but pricing gets worse below that threshold.
Yes. Non-QM P&L loans aren't capped at conforming limits. Loan amounts above $800K are common in this market.
P&L is simpler — one document versus 12–24 months of statements. Both are non-QM, but P&L relies on your CPA's figures.
