Bank statement loans and asset depletion to qualify?

DDA Mortgage • October 4, 2021

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.

My prediction for what is coming next

By Didier Malagies • November 3, 2025
Here are the main types of events that typically cause the 10-year yield to drop: Economic slowdown or recession signs Weak GDP, rising unemployment, or falling consumer spending make investors expect lower future interest rates. Example: A bad jobs report or slowing manufacturing data often pushes yields lower. Federal Reserve rate cuts (or expectations of cuts) If the Fed signals or actually cuts rates, long-term yields like the 10-year typically decline. Markets anticipate lower inflation and slower growth ahead. Financial market stress or geopolitical tension During crises (wars, banking issues, political instability), investors seek safety in Treasuries — pushing prices up and yields down. Lower inflation or deflation data When inflation slows more than expected, the “real” return on Treasuries looks more attractive, bringing yields down. Dovish Fed comments or data suggesting easing ahead Even before actual rate cuts, if the Fed hints it might ease policy, yields often fall in anticipation. tune in and learn https://www.ddamortgage.com/blog didier malagies nmls#212566 dda mortgage nmls#324329

Feds cutting rates what will happen?

By Didier Malagies • October 27, 2025
🏦 1. Fed Rate vs. Market Rates When the Federal Reserve cuts rates, it lowers the federal funds rate — the rate banks charge each other for overnight loans. That directly affects: Credit cards Auto loans Home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) These tend to move quickly with Fed changes. 🏠 2. Mortgage Rates Mortgage rates are not directly set by the Fed — they’re more closely tied to the 10-year Treasury yield, which moves based on investor expectations for: Future inflation Economic growth Fed policy in the future So, when the Fed signals a rate cut or actually cuts, Treasury yields often fall in anticipation, which can lead to lower mortgage rates — if investors believe inflation is under control and the economy is cooling. However: If markets think the Fed cut too early or inflation might return, yields can actually rise, keeping mortgage rates higher. So, mortgage rates don’t always fall right after a Fed cut. 📉 In short: Fed cuts → short-term rates (credit cards, HELOCs) usually fall fast. Mortgage rates → might fall if inflation expectations drop and bond yields decline — but not guaranteed. tune in and learn https://www.ddamortgage.com/blog didier malagies nmls#212566 dda mortgage nmls#324329
