03
Asset depletion loans are a non-QM product—lenders evaluate your financial profile differently than traditional W-2 underwriting. They focus on liquid assets, reserves, and residual income rather than employment history or recent tax returns.

Asset depletion loans work well in Santa Clarita for buyers with substantial liquid assets who've left the workforce. The median home price of $799,577 sits comfortably within the loan-amount cap.
The real advantage is speed and certainty—no waiting for recent tax returns or employment verification delays. If you have the assets and credit score, underwriting moves forward without friction.

Compared to conventional loans, asset depletion skips the W-2 income requirement entirely. Conventional loans demand recent pay stubs and tax returns; asset depletion uses your savings instead.
