Retirement Funds as Income to Qualify for a Home Mortgage Loan
Using Retirement Funds As Income
Retirement Funds As Income to Qualifying for a home mortgage loan can sometimes be a challenge, that’s why we use the funds that are currently in your retirement accounts as mortgage loan income to help you qualify for a home mortgage loan even though you may not be currently receiving distributions from your retirement account.
Conventional Loan Retirements As Income Requirements
- Assets used for the calculation of the monthly income stream must be owned individually by the borrower, or the co-owner of the mortgage loan.
- Assets must be liquid and available to the borrower or co-borrower.
- For 401(k) or IRA, SEP, or Keogh retirement accounts – the borrower must have unrestricted access to the funds and can only use the accounts if a monthly distribution has not already set up.
- If a penalty would apply to a distribution of funds from the retirement account, then the amount of such penalty must be subtracted to determine the income stream from these retirement accounts.
- If the employment-related assets are in the form of stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, then 70% of the value of the retirement accounts will be used to calculate the projected retirement income.
- Non-employment-related assets are ineligible if the retirement account funds are (stock options, non-vested restricted stock, lawsuits, lottery winnings, the sale of real estate, inheritance, and divorce proceeds).
Retirement assets to be used as qualifying income

- The minimum Credit Score is 620.
