Non-Qualified Mortgage (Non-QM) loans are typically for borrowers with unique income qualifying circumstances. There are millions of people who may have the income but don't qualify with their tax returns, W-2s or pay stubs alone.

Many people have fluctuating incomes, lump sum incomes or are self-employed such as independent business owners, entrepreneurs, contractors, hospitality workers, retirees, actors, artists, musicians, etc.

Self-employed borrowers are often paid sporadically and have more than one stream of income, which makes it difficult for them to obtain a qualified mortgage.  These individuals typically turn to loans based on their bank statements as opposed to their tax returns.

Prime borrowers are often keen to take advantage of Non-QM loans since they usually have great credit but are looking to take on a loan that may have interest-only payments or who have a higher than normal debt-to-income ratio.

Near or non-prime borrowers who don’t have enough credit, a prior bankruptcy, or distressed property sale within the last two years are often good candidates for Non-QM loans.

Borrowers with sizable assets and prime credit may decide on a non-QM loan in order to maintain a positive cash flow rather than just buying the home in cash.

Non-QM loans can fill the niche for those who don't necessarily fit into the "qualified-mortgage box." A qualified mortgage follows rules set by the CFPB and Federal Government; however, a Non-QM loan use alternate methods of income verification to help you get approved for a mortgage loan.

• It is not a subprime mortgage
• It is not a "stated-income" loan

• A home financing solution for responsible borrowers with unique financial circumstances
