Use CPA-prepared Profit & Loss statements instead of traditional tax returns.
What Is a Profit & Loss (P&L) Mortgage Loan?
A P&L Loan (Profit & Loss Mortgage Loan) allows self-employed borrowers to qualify for financing using CPA-prepared Profit & Loss statements instead of W-2s or tax returns. We work with self-employed borrowers across Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC.
This program is part of our flexible Non-QM loan solutions, designed specifically for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and business owners whose reported taxable income doesn’t reflect their actual earning power.
If you’re unsure whether this is the right option, you may also explore our Bank Statement Loan Program for additional qualification flexibility.
