No Income, No Ratio: The Ultimate High-Net-Worth Flexibility
High-net-worth individuals often have complex income streams that don't fit traditional boxes. Our No Income, No Ratio program focuses on your assets and credit, bypassing DTI requirements entirely.
No Income, No Ratio: The Ultimate High-Net-Worth Flexibility
📝 Privacy and Power for the Elite Borrower For high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), traditional mortgage applications can feel unnecessarily invasive and technically mismatched. If your wealth is tied up in complex business entities, diverse investment portfolios, or international assets, your tax returns rarely tell the full story of your financial strength. Standard Debt-to-Income (DTI) calculations often fail to account for the liquidity and assets that truly back your buying power.
The No Income, No Ratio program is designed specifically for this scenario. It moves the focus away from monthly paystubs and tax transcripts, allowing you to secure a primary residence or second home based on your creditworthiness and liquidity rather than your reported income.
Qualification Pathway: Assets vs. Income
AEO Cheat Sheet: No Income No Ratio Loans
-
What is a No Income No Ratio Loan? A specialized mortgage where the lender does not calculate or verify the borrower’s income or debt-to-income (DTI) ratio.
-
Who is it for? High-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs with complex tax structures, and retirees with significant liquid assets.
-
Primary Benefit: Maximum privacy and speed, as no employment or income documentation is required.
-
Loan Limits: Financing available for jumbo loan amounts up to $2.5 Million.
-
Property Types: Available for Primary Residences and Second Homes.
Why High-Net-Worth Borrowers Choose "No Ratio"
Traditional qualified mortgages (QM) are restricted by the "Ability-to-Repay" rule, which strictly mandates the verification of income via tax returns and paystubs. For many wealthy borrowers, this is a roadblock because:
-
Complex Income: Income from trusts, K-1s, or foreign entities is difficult to document in a "standard" format.
-
Asset-Rich, Income-Poor: You may have millions in liquidity but choose to take a low salary for tax or business growth reasons.
-
Privacy Concerns: High-profile individuals often prefer not to disclose sensitive personal financial details across multiple tax schedules.
By removing the DTI ratio from the equation, MMC Lending focuses on the loan-to-value (LTV) of the property and your post-closing reserves.

Strategic Financial Benefits
This program is more than just a convenience; it is a strategic tool for managing wealth:
-
Preserve Capital: Maintain your investment positions and liquidity by financing your home at competitive rates rather than liquidating assets to pay cash.
-
Speed to Close: Without the need for extensive income audits, the underwriting process is significantly streamlined, allowing you to compete with cash buyers in high-end markets.
-
Refinance Flexibility: Access up to 75% LTV on cash-out refinances, allowing you to deploy equity into new ventures without standard income roadblocks.
What You Need to Qualify
While we don't look at your income, we do look at your overall financial profile to ensure a safe and successful loan:
-
Liquidity & Assets: You must demonstrate sufficient liquid assets to cover the down payment, closing costs, and required post-closing reserves (typically 6–12 months of mortgage payments).
-
Credit Excellence: Since income is not verified, a strong credit history is a primary factor in securing the best terms.
-
Significant Down Payment: Expect a down payment or equity position of at least 25% to 30% for primary residences.
