Use eligible assets as a qualifying-income source
Many high-net-worth borrowers have substantial investment portfolios or other eligible assets but may not receive steady employment income. Certain asset-depletion or asset-utilization programs can convert verified eligible assets into a monthly qualifying-income amount under the lender’s formula.
This approach may allow qualified borrowers to finance a primary residence, second home or investment property without relying on traditional employment-income documentation such as W-2s or paystubs. The lender still verifies eligible assets, credit, reserves, property details and all other applicable underwriting requirements.
Purchase, rate-and-term refinance and cash-out refinance options may be available, depending on the loan program, property use, loan-to-value ratio and borrower qualifications. Not every asset is eligible, and documentation requirements vary by lender.
What to know
Eligible asset-depletion and alternative-documentation programs may use verified assets, bank statements or other permitted documentation instead of traditional employment-income records. Credit, assets, reserves, property eligibility and ability-to-repay requirements still apply under the selected program.

What are No Income Verification and Alternative Documentation Loans?
These programs may qualify eligible borrowers using verified assets or other permitted documentation rather than W-2s, paystubs or traditional tax-return income. They remain fully underwritten loans with lender-specific requirements.
