Asset Depletion Loans in Alturas
Lenders divide your liquid assets by a set number of months — typically 60 to 84 — to create a monthly income figure.
That calculated income replaces pay stubs. You need no employer, no W-2, and no business P&L to qualify.

Alturas is rural Modoc County — low prices, low competition, and buyers who often don't fit a W-2 mold.
Retirees and landowners here frequently hold significant assets but show little taxable income. Asset depletion is built for exactly that profile.
Lenders divide your liquid assets by a set number of months — typically 60 to 84 — to create a monthly income figure.
Most banks won't touch asset depletion. This is a wholesale non-QM product, and not every broker has access.
At SRK CAPITAL, we work with 200+ wholesale lenders. Several specialize in non-QM programs like this one.
The most common mistake: borrowers wait too long to document assets. Lenders want 2–3 months of statements, properly sourced.
Retirement accounts get haircut — usually 30% to 40% off the balance before the depletion math starts. Plan for that.
Bank statement loans work if you run a business with consistent deposits. Asset depletion works if income is sparse or irregular.
DSCR loans are for rental properties — the rent covers the payment. Asset depletion is for primary or second homes with no rental offset.
Modoc County property values are among the lowest in California. That helps — smaller loan amounts mean less asset liquidation required.
Many Alturas buyers are semi-retired ranchers or remote workers. Asset depletion fits both groups better than conventional underwriting.
Checking, savings, brokerage, and retirement accounts typically qualify. Retirement balances are usually discounted before the income calculation.
No. Lenders calculate hypothetical monthly income from the assets. You keep the money — it never has to be liquidated.
It depends on acreage and property type. Some non-QM lenders restrict rural or agricultural parcels. Ask before you shop.
Most non-QM lenders want at least 620. Higher scores unlock better rates. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Conventional loans require verified income from employment. Asset depletion replaces that with a calculated draw from your liquid holdings.
Yes — it's one of the strongest fits for retirees. Social Security alone often falls short; asset depletion bridges that gap.
