Non-QM

Non-QM loans provide flexible financing solutions for borrowers who don’t fit traditional lending guidelines. Whether you're self-employed, an investor, or have unique income streams, these programs are designed to help you qualify using alternative documentation and real-world financial strength.

What is a
Non-QM?

A Non-QM (Non-Qualified Mortgage) loan is a type of home financing that falls outside standard agency guidelines. Instead of relying strictly on W-2s and tax returns, Non-QM loans allow lenders to evaluate your ability to repay using alternative methods such as bank statements, asset usage, or property cash flow.

These loans include a variety of programs tailored to different borrower profiles. For example, Profit and Loss Statement loans allow business owners to qualify using internally prepared financials, while VOE (Verification of Employment) programs focus on confirming stable employment. 12 Month Bank Statement loans evaluate consistent deposits to determine income, and DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans are ideal for investors by qualifying based on a property’s rental income rather than personal income.

Additionally, Non-QM financing can support investment-focused strategies such as Fix and Flip projects, providing short-term capital for renovation and resale, as well as Land loans for purchasing undeveloped property for future use or development.
