Your wealth can qualify you — even without a paycheck. An asset qualifier loan turns liquid assets into qualifying income, so retirement or a career transition doesn't block your mortgage.

What Is an Asset Qualifier Loan?

An asset qualifier loan is a non-QM mortgage that uses your liquid assets — rather than employment income — to qualify. The lender converts your assets into an income-equivalent figure, proving you have the means to repay without a traditional job or tax-return income.

Who It's For

Retirees living off savings and investments
High-net-worth borrowers with low taxable income
Career-transition buyers between jobs
Investors with significant liquid reserves

Jimmy's tip: Gather recent statements for every account you plan to use — more verified assets often means better terms and a stronger approval.

Asset Qualifier Loan FAQs

Straight answers to the questions borrowers ask most. Your loan officer is always your best resource for your specific situation.

How does an asset qualifier loan work?
Instead of verifying income, the lender converts your liquid assets into an income-equivalent amount and uses that to qualify you. Think of it as your assets doing the talking instead of a paycheck.
What assets count toward qualification?
Liquid assets such as checking, savings, money market, CDs, brokerage accounts, and sometimes retirement accounts (often at a discounted rate) can be counted. Jimmy can confirm exactly what your program accepts.
Who is an asset qualifier loan best for?
Retirees living off savings, high-net-worth individuals with little taxable income, and anyone with significant liquid assets but no conventional income stream.
How much in assets do I need?
It varies, but you generally need enough assets to cover the loan's payments and then some — the lender wants to see a comfortable cushion. A rule of thumb is enough to cover several years of housing payments.
Can I use retirement accounts?
Often yes — retirement accounts may be counted, typically at a discounted percentage to account for access and tax considerations. Jimmy can walk you through your specific numbers.
