Are you looking for flexible lending solutions that cater to your unique financial situation? Asset depletion loans may be the answer you’ve been searching for. Blake Mortgage specializes in providing Arizona residents with asset depletion loans designed to meet their individual needs and financial goals. In this guide, we’ll explore the world of asset depletion loans, their key benefits, eligibility criteria, the application process, and why Blake Mortgage is your ideal partner for securing the financial stability you deserve.
In the labyrinthine world of mortgage loans, the “Asset Depletion Loan” has emerged as a unique product for borrowers with significant assets but perhaps inconsistent income. Whether you’ve recently become self-employed, are taking a sabbatical from work, or are experiencing other irregularities in your income stream, an asset depletion loan could be your ticket to homeownership. Let’s dive deep into understanding what this loan type offers, its criteria, and who stands to benefit the most.
At its core, an asset depletion loan is designed for individuals with substantial assets. Still, it might have a different employment status or steady monthly income meeting standard loan requirements. Rather than focusing on your income, lenders will consider your liquid assets and calculate an imputed monthly income based on these assets.
Before you dive headfirst into this option, it’s essential to understand the primary criteria:
Max 75% LTV (Loan-to-Value) for Purchases: If you’re looking to buy a home, the loan will cover up to 75% of the home’s appraised value or purchase price, whichever is lower. This means you’ll need at least a 25% down payment.
Max 70% LTV for Refinance: The maximum allowed loan is 70% of the appraised value for refinance transactions.
Minimum 600 FICO Score: Your credit score still plays a role. Borrowers should have a minimum FICO score of 600. However, better rates and terms might be available for those with higher scores.
Employment Status Flexibility: One of the significant attractions of this loan type is that the borrower can be employed without being currently used. This game-changer for retirees, those between jobs, or people living off investments.
Limited Documentation Required: Generally, Only two months of statements for the qualifying account are required. This streamlined documentation process is less cumbersome than traditional mortgages that demand pay stubs, W-2s, and extensive income verification.
Owner-Occupied Properties Only: The loan is restricted to properties where the borrower will reside. Investment properties or second homes don’t qualify.
Utilization of Liquid Assets: For qualification purposes, liquid assets like savings accounts, stocks, bonds, and mutual funds can be considered. This flexibility allows borrowers to showcase their financial strength beyond regular income.
Why Consider an Asset Depletion Loan?
The most significant advantage for many is that it bridges the gap between having wealth and showcasing consistent monthly income. Here’s why it’s becoming a popular choice:
Retirees and Seniors: Those who’ve retired might have significant savings but a reduced monthly income. This loan caters to their needs perfectly.
Entrepreneurs and Business Owners: Income can be erratic, especially during the early phases of a startup. Suppose an entrepreneur has managed to save or has other investments. In that case, this loan can help them secure a home without waiting for consistent profitability.
Investors: People who live off dividends, interest, or rental income can benefit, especially if their assets are vast but monthly cash flow is unpredictable.
While the asset depletion loan sounds attractive, it’s essential to consider some points:
Interest Rates: Asset depletion loans generally have slightly higher interest rates than conventional loans. This is because the lender is taking on more perceived risk by focusing on assets rather than a consistent income stream.
Evaluation of Assets: Not all assets are treated equally. How a lender calculates your assets’ value can vary, mainly when translating them into a monthly income figure. It’s crucial to have clarity on this before moving forward.
Property Limitations: Since the loan is restricted to owner-occupied properties, it won’t suit those looking for investment properties or vacation homes.
