FAQ

Asset Depletion Loan Questions

How is my income calculated?

Your eligible assets, after the down payment and closing costs, are divided by a set number of months. The result is treated as monthly income.

Do retirement accounts count?

Usually, yes. Retirement accounts are often counted at a percentage of their value to allow for taxes and penalties.

Do I have to sell or withdraw my assets?

No. The assets only need to be documented. You keep them invested.

Can I combine assets with other income?

Yes. Social Security, pensions, and rental income can be added to your asset income.

Is this only for retirees?

No. It also works for investors, recent business sellers, and anyone with strong assets but limited earned income.
