Moreno Valley attracts retirees and high-net-worth buyers who don't draw a traditional paycheck. Asset depletion loans give those borrowers a real path to financing.
This is a non-QM loan — meaning it falls outside standard government guidelines. Lenders calculate income by dividing your liquid assets over a set term, typically 360 months.

Lenders typically want to see 12 to 24 months of reserves after closing. The more liquid the assets, the stronger your file.
Credit requirements vary by lender. Most want a 680 or higher. Lower scores are possible, but expect a higher rate. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Only a fraction of lenders offer asset depletion programs. Most retail banks don't touch non-QM. You need a broker with wholesale access to find real options.
At SRK CAPITAL, we work with 200+ wholesale lenders. Several specialize specifically in asset depletion underwriting. That range makes a real difference.
The single biggest mistake on these files: counting illiquid assets. Equity in real estate doesn't qualify. Neither does a business valuation.
Loan size also matters. Asset depletion works best on higher loan amounts — the math produces more qualifying income when assets are substantial.
Bank statement loans work better if you run a business with regular deposits. Asset depletion fits borrowers who are retired or simply sitting on wealth.
DSCR loans require rental income to qualify. Asset depletion requires none. If you're buying a primary residence with no cash flow, asset depletion is the cleaner path.
Moreno Valley sits in Riverside County, where purchase prices run lower than coastal California. That works in your favor — your assets may go further here.
The area draws a mix of first-time buyers and relocating retirees from pricier coastal markets. Asset depletion borrowers in this profile are not rare on these files.
Cash, checking, savings, stocks, and bonds typically qualify. Retirement accounts usually qualify at 60–70% of their value.
No. The entire point is to qualify without employment income. Your assets replace income in the underwriter's calculation.
They divide your total qualifying assets by the loan term — usually 360 months. That monthly figure becomes your qualifying income.
Some lenders allow it. But a DSCR loan may be a better fit if the property generates rental income.
Most lenders want 680 or higher. A lower score limits your lender options and raises your rate. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
You still document everything — but it's your assets, not income, under the microscope. Full bank and investment statements are required.
