I've been reading some Freddie Mac guidelines (and probably getting myself more confused!). I may not be understanding it correctly, but there is some discussion about using the value of assets as part of qualifying for a mortgage (dividing by 360, etc.).
How does that work? Say a person has $200,000+ in savings or retirement. Can some of that be considered in your "income" to qualify you for a mortgage?
Some of us have saved a lot and are reluctant to take that all out and put it against a property. Can we keep it in the bank and have it help qualify us for payments?
How does that work?
30% down payment required. Need to be at least 59.5 years old. 70% of the vested amount in the retirement divided by 360 = monthly amount you can use. It cannot be used for another source of income (such as dividend and interest, etc.). Not all lenders will permit it though.
