FAQ
What types of assets can be used to qualify for an Asset Utilization Loan?
Borrowers can use a wide range of liquid and investment assets to qualify. Eligible assets typically include checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit (CDs), stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and certain retirement accounts (subject to program restrictions). These assets are used to calculate qualifying income for borrowers who may not have traditional income documentation.
How are retirement assets calculated when using them for asset-based mortgage qualification?
Retirement accounts are usually counted at a reduced percentage of their total balance when calculating qualifying income. For example, many asset-utilization programs use 70% of retirement account funds if the borrower is under age 59½. This reduction accounts for potential taxes and early withdrawal penalties, while still allowing borrowers to leverage retirement savings for mortgage approval.
What is the minimum amount of eligible assets required for the Asset Utilization program?
To qualify, borrowers must document eligible assets equal to the lower of $1,000,000 or 150% of the loan amount. This ensures the borrower has sufficient verified assets to support the loan under asset-based underwriting guidelines.
