What's the Difference?
Cash Flow Only (Standard Rental Loan)
This option is the most popular because it is based solely on the property’s rental income compared to expenses like taxes, insurance, and HOA (if applicable). No personal income documentation is required.
Bank Statement Loan
This loan uses 12–24 months of business or personal bank statements to verify your income. It’s a great fit for self-employed borrowers or business owners with strong cash flow. Rates are often lower than Cash Flow Only loan.
Profit & Loss (P&L) Statement
This option allows you to qualify using an accountant-prepared P&L statement, with or without supporting bank statements. It offers flexibility for business owners who may not show income traditionally but have strong financials. Rates are often lower than Cash Flow Only loan.
Full Documentation
This is a traditional loan that requires W-2s, pay stubs, and tax returns to verify income. It’s best for borrowers with consistent salaried or hourly income and typically provides the most competitive terms.
