Asset Depletion Loans in Sanger
Sanger's retiree and investor population creates steady demand for asset-based qualification. Traditional lenders turn away buyers with strong portfolios but no W-2 income.
Asset depletion works well here because many Fresno County buyers have liquidated businesses or manage rental portfolios outside traditional employment. This program converts your bank balance into qualifying income.
Lenders divide your liquid assets by 360 months to calculate monthly income. A $500,000 portfolio generates roughly $1,389 in qualifying income before considering actual cash flow.
You need minimum $100,000 in qualifying assets after your down payment and reserves. Stocks, bonds, retirement accounts, and CDs all count if they're accessible.
Credit scores typically start at 640, though some lenders go to 620 for strong profiles. Expect to put down 20-25% on primary residences, 25-30% on investment properties.
Most programs cap at 80% loan-to-value on primary homes, 75% on second homes. Investment properties max out around 70-75% depending on asset depth and credit profile.
Only non-QM lenders offer asset depletion programs. Your neighborhood bank won't touch this structure even if you bank there for decades.
Rates run 1.5-3 points above conventional mortgages. That spread reflects underwriting complexity and limited investor appetite for these loans.
Some lenders require full asset liquidity within 60 days. Others accept qualified retirement accounts but discount the balance by 30-40% to account for penalties and taxes.
Shopping across multiple non-QM lenders matters here. One lender might count your IRA at 70% of balance while another uses 60%, which changes your qualifying income significantly.
Asset depletion works best when you have zero income to report, not low income. If you show any W-2 or 1099 income, bank statement loans usually price better.
We see this loan close successfully for three profiles: early retirees under 59.5, trust fund beneficiaries, and foreign nationals with US assets but no domestic income.
Lenders scrutinize large recent deposits. Season your assets for 60-90 days before applying. Transfers between your own accounts need clear paper trails.
Many Sanger buyers assume they need massive portfolios. We've closed asset depletion loans with $200,000 in qualifying assets for modest purchase prices under $300,000.
Bank statement loans beat asset depletion if you have business income under $100,000 annually. The income calculation works better and rates price lower.
Foreign national loans make sense when your assets sit overseas. Asset depletion requires US-based accounts and introduces currency conversion complications.
DSCR loans win for pure investment purchases when the property cash flows. You avoid tapping personal assets entirely and preserve capital for future deals.
1099 loans cost less if you contract consistently. Asset depletion should be your backup when irregular income makes bank statements look weak.
Sanger's agricultural economy creates wealth in land and equipment, not liquid portfolios. Sellers often have strong balance sheets but limited qualifying assets for asset depletion.
Fresno County appraisers move fast on rural properties. Your 60-day closing timeline works if you lock rate early and order appraisal within five days of application.
Property insurance runs higher than coastal California but stays reasonable. Budget $1,200-2,000 annually for a typical single-family home in Sanger.
Many Sanger buyers combining this loan with 1031 exchange proceeds. Coordinate timing carefully because exchange funds must close within 180 days of sale.
Yes, but lenders discount balances by 30-40% to account for withdrawal penalties and taxes. A $400,000 IRA might generate qualifying income based on $240,000-280,000.
Rates typically run 1.5-3 percentage points above conventional mortgages. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions based on credit score, LTV, and total asset depth.
No, gifted money covers down payment but doesn't generate qualifying income. You need seasoned assets in your name for at least 60-90 days before application.
Dividing $300,000 by 360 months creates $833 monthly qualifying income. Most lenders use this calculation, though some adjust the divisor to 240 or 300 months.
Yes, lenders will add Social Security, pensions, or rental income to your asset-generated income. This combination often helps you qualify for higher loan amounts.
