Alternative Mortgage Options
Not everyone has traditional income and W2s to show for it. Whether you're self-employed, an investor, have substantial assets, or don't qualify using standard income documentation, we may have a financing solution designed for your situation.
What is a Non-QM Loan?
A Non-QM loan, short for non-qualified mortgage, is a home loan that offers more flexible qualification options than many traditional mortgages. Instead of relying only on W2s, pay stubs and conventional debt-to-income calculations, certain Non-QM programs may allow qualified borrowers to use bank statements, liquid assets, rental property cash flow or other documentation to demonstrate their ability to repay. That can make Non-QM financing particularly useful for self-employed home buyers, real estate investors and borrowers whose finances don't fit neatly within traditional lending guidelines.
