Non‑QM Mortgage Loans

Alternative financing options for borrowers who don’t fit the traditional mold.

Flexible Solutions Beyond Conforming Loans

Non‑qualified mortgages (non‑QM) are designed for borrowers with strong credit and sizable down payments but unique income profiles. These loans fall outside Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines, allowing lenders to use alternative documentation and underwriting methods.

If you’re self‑employed, recently started a business, work on commission or have income streams that aren’t easily documented, non‑QM loans provide a path to homeownership. Programs use bank statements, CPA letters, profit and loss statements or even 1099-only verification instead of tax returns.
