Non-QM mortgages are a type of mortgage that allows borrowers to get a loan without having to provide extensive documentation or meeting traditional income qualifications. There are many benefits of Non-QM loans. For one, non-qualified mortgage loans are great for clients working with mortgage brokers. Mortgage brokers can offer borrowers a wide range of loan products and get the best interest rates for their clients. They can also work with self-employed borrowers who may have difficulty qualifying for a traditional mortgage. In this article, we will discuss some of the main advantages of Non-QM mortgages as of August 2024.

8 Great Benefits of Non-QM Loans

• Self-employed? No problem! If your client is self-employed, you know that it can be difficult to qualify them for a traditional mortgage. Non-QM mortgage lenders like A&D Mortgage are more flexible when it comes to income documentation, so self-employed borrowers can qualify for a loan.
• Credit score? No problem! If your clients have less than perfect credit, they may still be able to qualify for a Non-QM mortgage. Some lenders offer loans to borrowers with a credit score as low as 620, like our DSCR loan.
• No income verification required. If your clients don’t have W-2 incomes, we may still offer them a loan. This is because Non-QM loans are not restricted by the Qualified Mortgage guidelines that require borrowers to verify their income.
• Higher loan amounts up to $4 million. If your clients want to finance a high-end home, with A&D Mortgage they may be able to get a loan for up to $4 million. This is because Non-QM loans are not restricted by the Qualified Mortgage limit of $766,550 (as of 2024.)
• Loan terms to fit your needs. Non-QM loans can have terms that fit your borrowers’ unique financial situations. If they need a longer loan term or want to make interest-only payments, you will find a Non-QM loan that meets your needs.
• Fast funding. Non-QM loans can be funded faster than traditional loans as the underwriting process is often quicker and there is less documentation required.
• No DTI requirements. There are no debt-to-income ratio requirements with some Non-QM loans, so your client can qualify even if their DTI is high.
• Lenient seasoning guidelines. With some traditional loans, your clients may need to wait 12 months after a major financial event before they can qualify. With Non-QM loans, this waiting period is often shorter or even non-existent.
