How LendFriend Turns Your Assets Into Qualifying Income in Florida

As an experienced mortgage broker, we guide Florida homebuyers through the asset depletion process step by step, maximizing your approval under Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Non-QM asset-based lending guidelines.

Step 1: Identify Your Eligible Assets

We start by reviewing the assets that can be used to qualify. This typically includes checking and savings accounts, CDs, brokerage accounts, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, IRAs, and 401(k)s. In some cases, additional assets like real estate holdings or business equity may also be considered.

Step 2: Apply Asset Valuation

Not all assets are counted at full value. Lenders apply a conservative percentage based on liquidity and risk to create a stable, usable asset base to ensure your qualifying income is reliable and consistent.

Step 3: Convert Assets Into Monthly Income

Your eligible assets are then divided over 60 or 120 months to calculate a qualifying monthly income. This income is used to determine your debt-to-income ratio and loan amount—allowing you to qualify without W-2s, pay stubs, or tax returns.

Stronger Negotiating Position when Buying a Home 

The equity in your current home is unlocked and used as a downpayment on your new home; meaning no sales contingency required! Sellers HATE sales contingencies. Without a sales contingency, your offer is stronger, increasing your chances of buying your next home with ease.

4-3

Get the Highest and Best Sale Price

Without feeling pressured to sell quickly, you can wait for the best offer on your current home. List your home at the best time, market it effectively, and attract more competitive offers. With no rush, you can negotiate better terms and get the highest selling price.

1-1

Reduced Stress

Don't worry about finding temporary housing or organizing multiple moves. Avoid the chaos of having to coordinate the sale of your current home and the purchase of a new one. Transition seamlessly from one home to another and reduce stress or anxiety, making the moving process more manageable and organized.

2-4

Time for Improvements

Make necessary renovations or updates to your new property before you move in. Painting, remodeling, or other improvements would be more challenging if you were already living there. Moving into a freshly updated home (instead of living in it during renovations) is just so much nicer!

  • LendFriend was very easy to work with, helped explain complex aspects of the process and was quick to reply when I had concerns. The whole team was a well oiled machine that made a smooth transition to gaining possession of our home sooner and with a truly great rate for the time we closed on our house. Thanks LendFriend!

  • I had been looking for a house for 2-3 years and while it was a journey as a business owner with a difficult financial situation this company did what 6 others could not. They got me a jumbo loan based off my business income and when I needed more they just made it happen twice. This process of funding can be extremely difficult and basically a blow to the ego but Eric and his team are literally magicians and my fiancee and I are now closed on out dream house. I recommend them whole heartedly

FAQs

What is an asset depletion mortgage in Florida?

An asset-depletion mortgage is a Non-QM loan that allows Florida homebuyers to qualify using their assets rather than traditional income. Lenders convert eligible assets into monthly income to determine loan eligibility.

 

Can I Use an Asset Depletion Loan for a Cash-Out Refinance in Florida?

Yes, you can use an asset depletion loan for a cash-out refinance in Florida. Qualified borrowers can leverage their home equity without relying on traditional income documentation like W-2s or tax returns. Many high-net-worth homeowners use cash-out refinancing to diversify investments, increase liquidity, or invest in opportunities like the stock market while keeping their existing portfolio intact.

Do I need W-2s or tax returns to qualify?

No. Asset depletion loans are designed to qualify borrowers without W-2s, pay stubs, or tax returns. Approval is based entirely on your verified asset portfolio.

How do you calculate income from my assets?

We divide your eligible assets over a fixed period (commonly 60–120 months) to create a monthly qualifying income, which is then used to determine your loan amount and debt-to-income ratio.

Can I buy a home in Florida with no income at all?

Yes. If you have sufficient qualifying assets, you can still qualify even with little or no traditional income, as long as your asset-based income calculation supports the loan.

What loan amounts are available?

Depending on your assets and profile, borrowers in Florida can often qualify for loans up to $5 million or more through asset-based lending programs.

Will I have to sell my investments to qualify?

No. You do not need to liquidate your investments. Your assets are only used to calculate qualifying income while remaining fully invested.
