Question 1

Can I use my IRA to qualify for an asset depletion loan in Willits?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but most lenders discount retirement accounts to 60–70% of the balance. Liquid non-retirement assets carry more weight.

Question 2

Do I need any income at all to qualify?

Accepted Answer

Not always. Some lenders accept zero employment income if assets are sufficient. Others require minimal documented income — ask your lender directly.

Question 3

How much do I need to put down on a Willits property?

Accepted Answer

Expect 20–30% down for most asset depletion programs. Non-QM lenders don't offer low-down-payment options on this product.

Question 4

What credit score do asset depletion lenders require?

Accepted Answer

Requirements vary by lender, but most non-QM programs start around 620–660. Higher scores improve your rate. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.

Question 5

Is asset depletion harder to get approved in a rural area like Willits?

Accepted Answer

Rural properties add a layer of lender scrutiny — especially on appraisals. Work with a broker who has placed non-QM loans in rural California before.

Question 6

How long does an asset depletion loan take to close?

Accepted Answer

Non-QM loans typically close in 21–30 days. Complex asset documentation or rural appraisal delays can push that timeline out.
