📌 Non-QM = Non-Qualified Mortgage
These are loans that fall outside the traditional Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, VA, or USDA guidelines.
But don’t worry—it doesn’t mean you can’t qualify. It just means we show your Ability to Repay (ATR) in a different way.
📈 What You Need to Know:
• Private money = slightly higher risk = higher interest rates
• Typically requires a larger down payment
• Great for those with unique income situations
🔍 Common Types of Non-QM Loans:
✅ 1099 Programs – For contractors whose tax returns don’t tell the full story
✅ Bank Statement Loans – For self-employed borrowers whose deposits show more than their tax forms
✅ DSCR Loans (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) – For real estate investors, where rental income covers the new mortgage
✅ Asset Utilization – Use your assets to qualify instead of income docs
✅ Foreign National Loans – For non-U.S. citizens investing in U.S. real estate
✅ Interest-Only Options – Lower monthly payments, interest-only for a set period
