About Asset Based Lending

Asset-based lending (also called asset depletion or asset dissipation) allows borrowers to qualify for a mortgage using their liquid assets rather than traditional income. Lenders divide your eligible assets over a set number of months to create a qualifying monthly income figure. This is an excellent option for retirees, investors, and high-net-worth individuals who have substantial assets but limited W-2 or self-employment income.

How Asset Depletion Works

Lenders take your total eligible liquid assets and divide them by the loan term (e.g., 360 months for a 30-year loan) to arrive at a monthly qualifying income. For example, $1,800,000 in assets ÷ 360 months = $5,000/month qualifying income.

Eligible Assets

Eligible assets typically include checking and savings accounts, money market accounts, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and ETFs. Retirement accounts (IRA, 401k) may be counted at 60–70% of their value. Real estate equity is generally not included.

Who Benefits Most

This program is ideal for retirees living off savings, tech professionals with significant stock portfolios, business owners who have sold their business, and anyone with substantial liquid wealth but limited monthly income on paper.
