With credit below 620, qualifying comes down to equity — this tells us if we can make it work.
We can't make this one work — here's exactly why.
With a credit score below 620, our lenders cap an investment-property refinance at 50% of the property's value — that's your current mortgage balance measured against what the property is worth. Based on the numbers you entered, your balance sits above that line, so we're not able to move forward on this loan today.
Two honest paths from here: if your balance drops below 50% of value — or your score crosses 620 — we can revisit immediately.
Call us to talk it through — 949-738-9770We can still do this — with a bigger down payment.
With a credit score below 620, our lenders can approve a purchase only when you bring at least 50% down, plus closing costs, out of pocket. If you can do that, we'll keep going right now — equity does the qualifying that credit can't.

How asset depletion qualifying works.
Lenders take your eligible liquid assets and spread them over a set period to create a monthly qualifying income. The accounts that count and the period used depend on the program — we confirm both on your call.
You have assets, not a paycheck.
- You're retired and living on savings or investments
- You recently sold a business or property
- Your income is mostly passive or hard to document
- You hold substantial brokerage or retirement balances
The documentation that doesn't fit your life.
- No pay stubs or W-2s
- No employment verification
- No proving a salary you don't draw
- No selling investments just to qualify

Asset depletion loan questions.
What is an asset depletion loan?
An asset depletion loan is a mortgage where your eligible liquid assets, such as savings, investment and retirement balances, are converted into monthly qualifying income instead of using a paycheck or tax returns.
Who is an asset depletion loan for?
Retirees, investors, people who recently sold a business or property, and high-net-worth borrowers whose reportable income does not reflect their real financial strength.
Which assets count?
It depends on the program. Checking, savings, brokerage and retirement accounts are commonly considered, but which accounts count and how they are weighted is confirmed on your call.
Do I have to spend down my assets?
No. Asset depletion is a qualifying method. Your assets are used to calculate income for the loan; you are not required to liquidate them.
What are the rates, LTV and loan limits?
They depend on your assets, credit and the property, so we confirm them on a short call rather than quote a number that may not fit your file.
Will checking my options hurt my credit?
No. Seeing your options uses no hard credit pull.
Fast. Flexible. Funded.
Whether you're tapping equity or repositioning the portfolio — check your options in 60 seconds, with no hard credit pull.
