Non-QM loans are mortgage loans that do not meet the qualified mortgage (QM) guidelines set by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). These loans are considered non-traditional or alternative financing options for borrowers who may not qualify for conventional mortgage loans due to factors such as:
Self-employment or irregular income
High levels of debt
Poor credit history
Limited documentation of income or assets
Non-QM loans may have higher interest rates and fees than traditional mortgages due to the increased risk that lenders take on by providing financing to borrowers who don't meet the standard requirements. However, they can be a viable option for borrowers who may not qualify for traditional mortgage loans and are willing to accept the higher costs associated with these types of loans.
It is important to note that non-QM loans are not subprime loans, which are considered to be high-risk loans with extremely high interest rates that were a major factor in the 2008 financial crisis. Non-QM loans are designed to provide options for borrowers who may not meet the strict guidelines of conventional mortgage loans but are still capable of repaying their loans.
