Hi all,
We are currently renting an apt. and plan to buy a primary residence single house out of state for warmer weather. Our SS + investment income is about $5k/m currently, but with total asset about $2.8mm (401k, IRA, roth, taxable and $200k cash for possible down payment). No any debt with 800+ credit scores. We are looking for upto $600k house in GA.
Our question is what's the best way to qualify for a mortgage without too much work around. Looks like we could:
1. Drawdown on retirement: say to setup a monthly withdraw like $5k/m for two (or more) months...
2. Asset depletion: like 70% of asset divided by 360m for a 30 year mortgage...
Anyone has done this in retirement especially recently? Pros and cons compared with regular mortgage app.? Any lenders to recommend?
Thank you in advance for any input!
