04

This program is the right fit when conventional and FHA both say no. If your savings are limited, this program won't help, but strong liquid assets make it the clear path forward.
05
Conventional loans require documented employment income to qualify. Asset depletion skips the employment requirement entirely, trading employment verification for asset verification.
FHA loans accept lower credit scores but charge lifetime mortgage insurance. Mortgage insurance on asset depletion files depends on loan-to-value and lender policy, so terms vary by file.
