Get any one wrong and the file either stalls or the qualifying income drops.
Asset depletion solves that by turning distributed, personal liquid assets into a qualifying monthly income figure — no W-2 stack, no K-1 guesswork.
Lenders convert those deposits into qualifying income using an expense factor, and business deposits get haircut harder than personal ones.
Timing the deposit against your application date matters more than the size of the payout.
Lenders then apply an expense-ratio floor to that net income, check ownership and business history, and skip tax returns entirely.
The property still has to pass as a true second home, not a disguised rental.
Bank statement programs analyze money moving through an account. Asset depletion programs turn a portfolio balance into a calculated income figure.
Business-account deposits get an expense ratio applied to estimate real income.
This is a personal-use purchase, so DSCR investor programs, which qualify on rental income, don’t apply.
Credit, reserves, and occupancy certification all still apply in full, and rental income from the second home generally does not help you qualify.
Practice owners run into this constantly.
For a practice owner, that personal income routes through a K-1, not a W-2, and a K-1 is a tax allocation, not proof of cash in hand.
Bank statement loans skip the tax return and measure real deposits instead.
Get the occupancy label wrong, or skip the CPA step, and the file either stalls or qualifies for less than it should.
