Bank statement loans and asset depletion to qualify?

Qualifying for a mortgage using bank statements or asset depletion—Mortgage Broker Largo.

The gig economy has been great for a lot of solopreneurs, entrepreneurs, and the self-employed. However, it does change things when it comes to lending. Traditionally, lenders collect get a tax return, W2s, and some other statements. They determine how much they want to lend and you qualify.


However, income for solopreneurs, entrepreneurs, and the self-employed is not as straight forward. The good news, there is a type of loan for you!


It is called a Non-QM loan. A Non-QM loan is a non-qualified mortgage. Now, you still qualify for a mortgage, it is just a different type of mortgage.


For example, one type of Non-QM is the bank statement loan. In this situation we analyze 12 months of bank statements for a self-employed individual. The only stipulation is you have to be self-employed for two year. No tax return, W2s or 1099s are required. This will require a little more money down and potentially a higher rate.


Another example of a Non-QM loan is asset depletion. With an asset depletion, the lender agrees to accept your income figure and verify available assets. In some cases, the lender verifies your assets and does not take your income into consideration. A retiree who draws income from their retirement accounts may not have enough verifiable income, but their assets can be documented making them eligible for a Non-QM loan.


If you are interested in a Non-QM loan or to learn more about Non-QM loans give us a call (727) 784-5555.

That is wild — and honestly a sign of where mortgage tech is heading fast. A three-hour closing versus three days used to be unheard of. What likely made it possible: 🚀 Why it happened so fast 1. Automated income/asset verification Lenders now pull bank statements, payroll data, and tax transcripts digitally instead of waiting for uploads. 2. Instant credit + DU/LPA underwriting If everything lines up, AUS can issue an immediate approve/eligible. 3. e-sign + remote online notarization (RON) Cutting out scheduling delays saves days. 4. Title automation Many second mortgages use “property data reports” or streamline title searches that don’t need a full title commitment. 🧩 Why second mortgages close faster than first mortgages They don’t require an appraisal if AVM hits. Fewer compliance disclosures. Title and insurance requirements are lighter. No escrow setup. 📈 Bigger picture The mortgage industry is absolutely racing toward: close-in-a-day loans fully digital underwriting AI-assisted document interpretation more instant approvals for clean files We’re going to see more of what you just experienced—especially for HELOCs and seconds. tune in and learn https://www.ddamortgage.com/blog didier malagies nmls#212566 dda mortgage nmls#324329
