Non-QM Loans

Non-QM Loans: Bridging the gap between traditional loan requirements and unique financial circumstances.

Navigating the realm of mortgage financing can be intricate, especially when traditional loan options may not align with your unique financial situation. This is where Non-QM loans come into play – offering an alternative solution tailored for individuals whose financial profiles don’t neatly fit into the conventional loan framework.

What Exactly Are Non-QM Loans?

Non-QM loans, which stand for non-qualified mortgages, are mortgage loans that do not conform to the stringent criteria established by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) for qualified mortgages. While qualified mortgages require lenders to conduct a thorough assessment of your financial capacity, non-QM loans provide greater flexibility in their terms and eligibility criteria.

Instead of the typical W2s and tax returns, non-QM lenders might rely on your bank statements *for self-employed borrowers. They may be more flexible on credit challenges you have had in the past.

Important to Note: Non-QM loans today are distinctly different from the infamous subprime loans of the past. Lenders must still make a genuine effort to ensure you’re capable of repaying the loan.
