Who are Asset Depletion Loans for?
Asset depletion loans primarily serve borrowers who have successfully accumulated wealth and prefer to let those assets work for them. Specifically, this product suits retirees who have large 401(k) or IRA balances but do not wish to take large taxable distributions. In addition, it is an excellent fit for individuals who recently sold a business and currently hold significant cash or brokerage positions. While traditional lenders require a steady W-2 or business profit, this program focuses on your ability to repay based on your total net worth. Therefore, if you possess substantial liquid holdings but find that traditional income requirements limit your options, this program offers a common-sense path to homeownership.
Not a perfect fit?
If you have a consistent business cash flow but want to keep your assets untouched, you may find better terms by exploring our Bank Statement Loans instead.
