Asset Depletion Loans

If you have substantial assets but limited income, you might still qualify for a mortgage in Florida through asset depletion loans. These loans look at your total assets rather than traditional income sources. Here’s how it works: your assets are divided by 60 months to calculate monthly qualifying income. If you’re 59.5 or older, 100% of liquid assets count; if younger, retirement assets count at 50%. You can borrow up to 80% of the property’s value, with a minimum 20% down payment and credit scores from 700 upward. The loan covers primary, secondary, and investment...

Fidelity Home Group offers specialized non-warrantable condo loans that help you finance these properties. We provide loans up to $6 million, flexible terms including ARM and 30-year...

Why Selling Your House This Winter Gives You an Edge

Spring gets all the attention, but it’s not always the best time to sell a house. Yes, more buyers show up, but so do a lot of other sellers. Winter is different. With fewer homes on the market, your house has a much better chance of standing out. And that one advantage can make a big difference. Winter Is When Your Listing Stands Out History shows the number of homes for sale tends to drop during the winter months. It’s a trend that’s predictable almost every year. Data from Realtor.com shows this pattern clearly. Inventory dips in the winter (the green circles in the graph below), then...

Florida’s population is booming

Florida’s population keeps growing fast — about 1,000 new people every day in 2023 alone. This surge is driven by job opportunities, warm weather, and no state income tax. But it also means more demand for homes, especially condos and rentals. That demand changes your loan possibilities, especially if you’re eyeing non-warrantable condo financing or asset depletion loans. When buying in a hot market like Florida’s coast, your mortgage options might be different from other areas. We help you understand how the population growth affects available loan programs and what that means for your...
