Temecula attracts retirees, winery investors, and self-made entrepreneurs. Many carry serious wealth but don't draw a traditional paycheck.
Asset depletion loans turn your liquid assets into qualifying income. No W-2 required — your portfolio does the talking.

Lenders take your eligible assets, subtract the down payment and reserves, then divide by a set loan term — often 360 months. That monthly figure becomes your qualifying income.
Most lenders want a 680+ credit score and 20–30% down. Assets must be liquid: think brokerage accounts, savings, or money market funds. Retirement accounts often count at a discount.
Big retail banks rarely offer asset depletion. This is a non-QM product — it lives in the wholesale and portfolio lender space.
At SRK CAPITAL, we work with 200+ wholesale lenders. Several specialize in non-QM programs like this. Rate and terms vary sharply by lender. Shopping matters.
The biggest mistake I see: buyers don't document assets correctly before applying. Statements must show ownership, account type, and 60-day history — at minimum.
Vesting matters too. Joint accounts, trusts, and business accounts each get treated differently. Get this wrong and your qualifying income drops fast.
Bank statement loans work better if you run a business with strong deposits. Asset depletion is the right call when income is low but net worth is high.
DSCR loans serve investors buying rentals. Asset depletion serves buyers purchasing a primary or second home with no income to show — two very different borrowers.
Temecula's wine country draws affluent buyers looking for estate properties and vacation retreats. These buyers often live off investments, not salaries.
Riverside County has no shortage of high-value properties. Asset depletion can reach jumbo loan territory — useful in neighborhoods where prices climb well past conforming limits.
Savings, brokerage, and money market accounts typically qualify. Retirement accounts often count at a reduced percentage — confirm with your lender.
Yes. Second homes are eligible. Expect stricter reserve requirements than a primary residence.
Most lenders require 680 or higher. A stronger score gets you better pricing. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Lenders subtract your down payment and required reserves from eligible assets, then divide by the loan term in months.
It's one of the strongest options for retirees with low income and solid savings. It was essentially built for that profile.
Jumbo refers to loan size. Asset depletion refers to how income is calculated. You can have a jumbo-sized asset depletion loan.
