Not all borrowers have traditional means of employment or income. There are many people who may fit into non-traditional income categories such as:
- Borrowers that have accumulated assets over the years and plan on using those funds to cover all or part of their housing payment each month
- A borrower with little to no income but significant assets
- A borrower who is retired or soon to be retired
If any of these apply to you and you have significant assets such as savings, investments, or retirement accounts you may qualify for our Asset Depletion Loan Program.
What is an Asset Depletion Loan?
