Asset Depletion Mortgage Loans

Use your liquid assets — not traditional income — to qualify for a home loan.

If your wealth is in your savings, not a salary, asset depletion loans may be your ideal solution. These loans are designed for retirees, self-employed professionals, and high-net-worth individuals who want to qualify using their financial reserves instead of traditional income. It’s a flexible path to homeownership when your assets say more than your paychecks.

We Believe in smart solutions that reflect your financial reality.

What Is an Asset Depletion Loan?

An asset depletion loan lets you qualify for a mortgage by using your liquid assets instead of employment income. This type of loan calculates your ability to repay based on the value of bank accounts, investment portfolios, retirement accounts, and other eligible assets. It’s a smart option for retirees, entrepreneurs, or anyone with significant savings and low reportable income.

We Believe your assets should work as hard as you do.

Who Benefits from an Asset Depletion Mortgage?

Asset depletion loans are ideal for borrowers who are:

  • Retirees with high savings but no active income
    You’ve worked hard and saved wisely — now your assets can work for you.

  • High-net-worth individuals with non-traditional income
    When your finances don’t fit a W-2 mold, asset-based loans can bridge the gap.

  • Entrepreneurs and self-employed professionals
    Use investment or business account balances to strengthen your mortgage file.

  • Investors managing multiple income streams
    Turn your portfolio into a qualifying resource — not a liability.

How Do Asset Depletion Loans Work?

Asset depletion loans don’t rely on pay stubs or tax returns. Instead, lenders use your liquid asset total and divide it over a set term to determine qualifying income.

Step 1: Document Your Assets

Gather account statements showing balances in checking, savings, retirement, and investment accounts.

Step 2: Asset Evaluation & Calculation

We use lender-approved formulas to determine how much of your assets can count as qualifying income.

Step 3: Loan Approval & Closing

Once qualified, we guide you through a streamlined approval process with expert insight at every turn.

We Believe mortgages should reward financial discipline.
