🤔 Q: Can I use retirement or investment funds as reserves for a DSCR Loan?
✔️ A: Yes, most lenders allow stocks, bonds, brokerage accounts, and retirement funds to count toward reserve requirements. But because these assets are less liquid than cash, lenders apply a “haircut” to account for access delays, penalties, or volatility. For example, 401(k)s and IRAs are usually counted at 70–80% of their value, due to early withdrawal rules and liquidation fees.
