How It Works

How non-QM lending actually works

Non-QM simply means the loan does not fit the Qualified Mortgage box. These loans are underwritten by people using common sense and documented ability to repay rather than a rigid agency checklist.

1. Identify the obstacle

Self-employment, a recent credit event, foreign income, property type, or an unusual asset structure. The obstacle determines the program.

2. Choose the documentation type

Bank statements, 1099s, asset depletion, DSCR rents, or full documentation with expanded guidelines.

3. Manual underwriting

A human reviews the full story — the compensating factors that automated systems ignore.

4. Price the risk

Down payment, credit and reserves set the rate. Improving any one of them moves your pricing.

5. Appraisal & reserves

Standard appraisal plus post-closing reserves, which carry heavy weight in these approvals.

6. Refinance later

Non-QM is often a bridge. We map the plan to move you into agency financing when you qualify.

Your Options

The non-QM programs we place

Non-QM is a toolbox. Knowing which tool your file needs is most of the job.

Bank statement
Self-employed borrowers qualifying on deposits instead of returns.
DSCR
Investment property qualified on rent, with no personal income used.
Asset depletion
Qualify from liquid assets rather than monthly income.
Recent credit event
Financing as soon as one day out of bankruptcy, foreclosure or short sale in some programs.
Foreign national
No U.S. credit or Social Security number required, with a larger down payment.
Interest-only & 40-year terms
Payment structures agency financing does not permit.

Honest Advice

Using non-QM the right way

Non-QM should be a solution, not a default. We only place you here when agency financing genuinely cannot work.

Good fit: real income, wrong paperwork

You clearly afford the payment but your documents do not fit the agency template.

Good fit: time-sensitive opportunity

Flexible underwriting can close deals conventional guidelines would kill.

Good fit: post-credit-event recovery

You do not have to wait years to own again when the rest of the file is strong.

Watch: higher rate and costs

Flexibility is priced. If you qualify conventionally, take conventional.

Watch: prepayment penalties

Common on investor non-QM. Understand the term before you sign.

Watch: the exit plan

Every non-QM loan should come with a written plan for refinancing into better terms later.

Questions

Non-QM Loans FAQs

What is a Non-QM loan?

Non-QM (non-qualified mortgage) loans use flexible documentation and guidelines outside Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac rules — including bank statement, DSCR, ITIN, asset depletion, and 1099-only income programs.

Who should consider a Non-QM loan?

Self-employed borrowers, real estate investors, high-net-worth buyers with asset-based income, foreign nationals, and anyone with a recent credit event like bankruptcy or foreclosure that conventional lending won’t yet allow.

Can I get a Non-QM loan after bankruptcy or foreclosure?

Yes — many Non-QM programs allow financing as soon as one day out of a bankruptcy, foreclosure, or short sale with sufficient down payment, versus the 2-7 year waits conventional loans require.

Are Non-QM rates much higher than conventional?

Rates are moderately higher to reflect the flexible guidelines, but shopping multiple wholesale Non-QM investors — which we do on every file — keeps pricing competitive. Refinancing into conventional later is always an option.
