How to Qualify Using a Profit & Loss Statement
Traditional mortgages rely heavily on tax returns. But if you’re a business owner, freelancer, or contractor, you likely write off expenses — which lowers your taxable income on paper, even if your actual cash flow is strong.
Our Self-Prepared P&L program solves exactly that. Instead of penalizing you for smart tax strategy, we let you qualify based on a self-prepared profit and loss statement that reflects your real income — no accountant signatures, no tax returns, no 1099s required.
Whether you’ve been denied elsewhere or just want a smarter path to approval, this program was built for borrowers like you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I qualify using a P&L statement?
You prepare a profit and loss statement showing your business income and expenses. We use that to calculate your qualifying income — no tax returns, 1099s, or CPA signatures required. Our team can walk you through exactly what the P&L needs to include.
Do I need a CPA or accountant to sign my P&L?
No. That’s one of the biggest advantages of this program. You prepare the P&L yourself — no third-party accountant or CPA signature is needed. This makes the process faster and more accessible.
What credit score do I need?
We accept credit scores starting at 580. The stronger your credit profile, the better the rate and terms available to you — but we work with a range of credit situations.
How much do I need for a down payment?
As little as 3.5% down. Depending on your credit score and loan amount, options vary — our team will review your situation and show you the best path.
Can I use this for a primary residence or investment property?
Yes. The P&L program is available for primary residence purchases. We also offer bank statement and DSCR options for investment property financing. Talk to our team about which program fits your specific goal.
