NON-QM MORTGAGE
Non-QM loan?
Non-Qualified Mortgages are loans that generally do not meet the standards for the qualification for a mortgage. These types of mortgage loans allow you to qualify based on alternative approaches and use non-traditional methods of income and assets verification to help a borrower get approved for a home loan. These types of loans are for borrowers with unique qualifying situations and normally have a higher interest rate.
Benefits of a Non-QM Mortgage
- Underwriting flexibility
- No income verification program. In some cases, flexible credit scores with compensating factors
- Can potentially qualify with only bank statements or P&L
- In some cases, owner occupied and investors can qualify
