Non-QM Loans

Non-Qualified Mortgage (Non-QM Loans)/Portfolio Loans

The Qualified Mortgage (QM) rule brought about the concept of Non-QM lending. Loans that do not meet the complex rules that are associated with QM are considered Non-QM loans or portfolio loans. Non-QM loans take a common sense approach to underwriting and a borrower’s creditworthiness to determine the willingness and ability to repay the loan.

Each situation is unique and each loan is weighed on its own merits. Every lender will approve loans bases on reasonable belief that the borrower has the ability to repay.
