– Flexible Property Options: Whether it’s an owner-occupied home, a second home, or an investment property, our program has you covered.

Qualifying with Assets

Our program allows you to qualify using just your assets, or you can supplement with one or two years of full documentation, bank statements, verification of employment (VOE), 1099 forms, or profit and loss statements (P&L). This flexibility ensures that you can present your financial situation in the most favorable light.

Eligible Liquid Assets

We consider a variety of liquid assets, including:

– Cash on hand

– Savings and checking accounts

– Stocks, bonds, and mutual funds

– Vested amounts in retirement accounts

– Money market accounts

How to Calculate Asset Utilization

One of the unique features of our program is the asset depletion calculation, which allows us to convert your assets into qualifying income. Here’s how it works:

1. Identify Qualified Assets: Determine the total amount of your eligible liquid assets.

2. Divide by 60 Months: To calculate the monthly income equivalent, divide the total qualified assets by 60 months.

Example Calculation

Let’s say you have $300,000 in qualified assets. By dividing this amount by 60 months, we calculate an additional monthly income of $5,000. This figure can significantly enhance your borrowing capacity and help you qualify for the mortgage you need.
