What is Asset Depletion?

Asset depletion loans are specialty mortgage programs that allow borrowers to qualify using liquid assets rather than traditional employment income. Instead of W-2s or tax returns, qualification is based on your existing savings, investments, retirement accounts, and other liquid assets โ€” divided over a set period to establish a monthly qualifying "income." This is ideal for retirees, high-net-worth individuals, and others with substantial assets but limited traditional income documentation. Contact Q Home Loans to discuss your asset portfolio.

How It Works

Asset depletion loans work by converting your liquid assets into a calculated monthly income figure. The lender takes your total eligible assets, subtracts any required down payment and closing costs, then divides the remaining amount by a set number of months (typically 360 for a 30-year loan). This calculated monthly figure becomes your qualifying income. For example, if you have $1,000,000 in eligible assets after down payment, the lender would calculate $1,000,000 รท 360 = $2,778 per month in qualifying income. This income is then used to determine your debt-to-income ratio and loan eligibility, just like traditional income verification.
