Asset Depletion Refinance

Your assets are your income. Refinance your Texas mortgage without employment.

Asset depletion refinance qualifies you based on liquid assets — savings, investments, and retirement accounts. Perfect for retirees and high-net-worth borrowers.

Why asset depletion?

You've built wealth. Now use it to refinance — without a paycheck.

Qualify on assets, not employment

Liquid assets (savings, investments, retirement accounts) are divided over the loan term to create a monthly qualifying income. $1M in assets = ~$2,778/mo qualifying income (360-month term). Self-employed borrowers without large portfolios may prefer a bank-statement refinance.

Perfect for retirees

Retirees with substantial savings but little traditional income qualify easily. Social Security, pensions, and asset depletion income can be combined — check ratios with our DTI calculator.

Lower rate or cash-out

Refinance your existing mortgage to a lower rate via a rate-and-term refinance or access equity through a cash-out refinance — all without employment income. Cash-out available up to 75% LTV.

Multiple asset types count

Checking, savings, money market, CDs, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and retirement accounts (60-70% of IRA/401k value). Real estate equity does NOT count. Business owners with strong P&Ls can also explore a P&L mortgage.

Refinance in 4 steps

01

Document your assets

02

Apply & structure

We structure the optimal loan program based on your asset income plus any other income sources (Social Security, pension).

Appraisal & underwriting

Home appraisal confirms value. Underwriting verifies assets and calculates depletion income.

Plan your refinance

Run the numbers before you commit. These tools answer the questions every refi shopper asks.

Asset Depletion FAQ

Questions about qualifying on assets.

Your total qualifying liquid assets are divided by the remaining loan term (typically 360 months) to create a monthly income figure. Example: $1.5M in liquid assets ÷ 360 = $4,167/month qualifying income. This income is then used to qualify you like any other income source.
Checking & savings accounts (100%), money market & CDs (100%), stocks & bonds (100%), mutual funds (100%), retirement accounts like IRA/401k (60-70% of value due to early withdrawal penalties/taxes). Real estate equity, business assets, and personal property do NOT qualify.
Generally $500K+ in liquid assets to generate enough qualifying income for a viable mortgage. The exact amount depends on the loan amount, rate, and DTI requirements.
Yes. Social Security, pension, rental income, and asset depletion can all be combined to maximize qualifying income. Most retirees use a combination.
No. Asset depletion is a calculation — you don't actually need to sell your investments or draw down your accounts. You keep your assets fully invested.
Primary residences, second homes, and investment properties (1-4 units). All standard property types: single-family, condo, townhome, and multi-family (2-4 units).
