Income types

P&L only loans.

Self-employed borrowers with a profit and loss statement prepared by a tax professional.

8 cakes take P&L only.

Every cake with a published matrix for this income type, largest loan first. Open one for its limits and matrix.

What the file needs.

Net income from the P&L, divided by the months it covers, times the borrower’s ownership share. Depreciation, depletion, and amortization may be added back.

  • A 12 or 24 month P&L signed by a CPA, EA, CTEC preparer, PTIN holder, or tax attorney who is not employed by the originator
  • The P&L ends no more than 60 days before application and is no more than 120 days old at closing
  • At least 25% ownership, one year in the business, and two years in the line of work
  • Where the matrix pairs the P&L with bank statements, deposits must support the P&L revenue within 25%

From the Non-QM guidelines, version 5.0, section 6.3, 6.4. The guidelines and matrix govern every file.
