Who uses an asset depletion loan?

Built for borrowers with substantial wealth but non-traditional income.

Retirees

Retired professionals with substantial savings and investment accounts but limited monthly income from pensions or Social Security — popular across Dallas and the Hill Country.

High-net-worth individuals

Wealthy individuals whose income is primarily from capital gains, dividends, or trust distributions that are difficult to document traditionally. We also see this profile across Houston energy and medical-center corridors.

Trust fund beneficiaries

Beneficiaries of family trusts with significant liquid assets but no traditional W-2 employment income.

Recently sold a business

Entrepreneurs who recently sold a business and have substantial proceeds but no ongoing employment income — if you're considering pulling cash from another property too, a no-tax-return refinance may stack with this program.

Early retirees (FIRE)

Individuals who achieved financial independence and retired early, living off investment portfolios and savings. Austin tech alumni use this most often.

Foreign asset holders

Individuals with significant assets held in US accounts who may not have traditional US employment income.

Texas's wealth-based mortgage specialist

Your assets tell a story of financial responsibility. Our asset depletion programs convert your portfolio into qualifying income—so your wealth gets you home, not a paycheck.

Your assets are your income

Liquid assets are divided by 360 months to calculate theoretical monthly income. No employment, W-2s, or tax returns needed—your wealth does the qualifying. Self-employed buyers with bank deposits instead of portfolios may prefer a bank-statement loan.

Retirement accounts count

401(k)s, IRAs, and other retirement accounts can be used. If you're 59½+, full value counts. Under 59½, accounts are typically valued at 70-80%. Business owners with two years of statements may also consider a P&L mortgage.

Investment portfolios qualify

Stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and brokerage accounts all count toward your qualifying asset total at their current market value. Run scenarios with our mortgage calculator to see how your portfolio translates into purchase power.

Primary & investment properties

Asset depletion loans work for primary residences, second homes, and investment properties across all Texas markets. Investors targeting rentals often pair this with a DSCR loan for additional doors.

Why Texas borrowers choose asset depletion

No employment required

No W-2s, no pay stubs, no employer verification. Your liquid assets are the sole basis for mortgage qualification.

Retirement-friendly

Designed for retirees who have accumulated wealth but lack traditional monthly income. 401(k)s and IRAs count.

Simplified underwriting

Asset verification is straightforward—provide account statements and let your portfolio do the talking. Close in 25–35 days.

How asset depletion works

From asset review to closing day.

01

Asset review

Submit 2–6 months of statements for all qualifying accounts. We calculate your total eligible liquid assets and theoretical monthly income.

02

Pre-approval

Receive a pre-approval letter based on your calculated asset depletion income. No employment verification or tax returns needed.

03

Underwriting

Our underwriters verify asset statements, confirm seasoning requirements, and calculate DTI ratios. Timeline: 2–3 weeks.

04

Close your home

Sign at a Texas title company and move into your new home—financed by your lifetime of financial success.

Asset Depletion Guidelines

Asset requirements

Minimum $500K–$1M in qualifying liquid assets. Assets must be seasoned 60–120 days. Divided by 360 months to calculate monthly income.

Start application

Credit requirements

Minimum 680 credit score. 740+ unlocks the best rates and maximum leverage. Clean credit history preferred — loan amounts above conforming usually fall under our jumbo loan guidelines.

Check eligibility

Down payment

20–30% down for primary residences. 25–35% for investment properties. Assets after down payment must still meet the depletion calculation.

Calculate payment

DTI ratio

Maximum 43–50% debt-to-income ratio based on the calculated asset depletion income. Use our DTI calculator to confirm where your scenario lands. Some programs allow up to 55% with strong compensating factors.

Asset depletion FAQ

Common questions about qualifying for a Texas mortgage using your assets.

Your total qualifying liquid assets (checking, savings, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and retirement accounts) are divided across the loan term (typically 360 months) to generate a monthly qualifying income stream. For example, $1.5M in liquid assets equals $4,167/month in qualifying income.
No. Asset depletion is purely an underwriting calculation. You keep your investments, equities, and savings fully intact and earning returns.
Checking, savings, money market accounts, CDs, publicly traded stocks, bonds, and mutual funds count at 100% of value. Vested retirement accounts (401k, IRA) typically count at 60–70% to account for potential tax and early withdrawal penalties.
Yes. Many retirees and high-net-worth borrowers combine asset depletion income with Social Security, pensions, rental income, or consulting income to qualify.
