What are Non-QM Loans?

Non-qualified mortgages (often referred to as non-QM loans) are products that are designed to potentially accommodate specific categories of “non-traditional” home loan borrowers.  When certain regulations were implemented in response to the subprime mortgage crisis, there was a gap left in the consumer mortgage market. This gap left some borrowers – namely, real estate investors and the self-employed – unable to attain the mortgage loans they needed in order to finance the purchase of a home.

Likewise, other applicants found their access to financing cut off because of minor blemishes on their credit reports; for these individuals, even non-conforming loans were off limits.   In response, some mortgage lenders took initiative to fill the widening gap and provide expanded options for these consumers. What they developed was a collection of mortgage products now categorized as non-QM.  If you are looking to buy a home in Eureka, McKinleyville, Arcata or Fortuna as well as the entire state of California, contact us today at 707-445-3027 or fill out quick quote.
