any offer asset depletion on a dscr to help with qualifiying on the ratio

Most DSCR and No Ratio DSCR loan programs do NOT allow asset depletion (asset utilization) as supplemental income for qualifying on the ratio. The only exceptions are Champions Funding and, in a limited way, Loan Stream (for second mortgages only).

Champions Funding: Asset Depletion as Supplemental Income

  • Allowed as a supplement to DSCR income, not as the main source.
  • Must be fully documented (asset statements, etc.).
  • Calculation: Net qualified assets divided by 60 months.
  • Retirement assets: 70% if under 59.5 years old, 100% if 59.5+.
  • Can be combined with other income types, but not as the dominant source.

Loan Stream: Only for Second Mortgages


Key Takeaway

If you want to use asset depletion to help qualify for a DSCR or No Ratio DSCR loan, Champions Funding is your best option (as a supplemental, not primary, income source). Loan Stream allows it only for second mortgages. All other lenders require qualification strictly by property cash flow (DSCR) and do not consider asset depletion.
