What is a Non-QM Loan?

A Non-QM (Non-Qualified Mortgage) loan offers flexible underwriting standards for borrowers with unique financial situations. Unlike traditional loans, Non-QM loans may use alternative income documentation—including bank statements or tax returns—to verify your income.


Non-QM loans are a great alternative for borrowers who don't fit in the "traditional" lending box, including:

  • Self-employed borrowers and freelancers
  • Business owners
  • Real estate investors
  • Borrowers with high debt-to-income ratios or unconventional income streams


Non-QM loans offer:

  • Flexible income verification
  • Higher DTI (debt-to-income) allowances
  • Expanded qualification options
  • A variety of flexible mortgage options

all income scenarios deserve a personalized, no-nonsense mortgage. With our simple, four-step process, we make non-qm loans as smooth and transparent as possible.
