Non-QM Loans are nonconforming home mortgage loan programs benefiting homebuyers and real estate investors who cannot qualify and/or use a traditional home loan. Non-QM mortgages are not hard money loans. Mortgage rates may be slightly higher than government and/or conventional loans. Hard money loans are illegal on residential mortgages due to their high fees and costs. Mortgage borrowers who do not qualify on government and/or conventional loans can benefit from using Non-QM loans. There are many different types of Non-QM mortgage programs.

Traditional Mortgages Versus Non-QM Loan Programs

We will go over the basic non-QM loan programs that are very popular at Capital Lending Network, Inc.  Homebuyers possible who can not qualify for FHA, VA, USDA, and Conventional loans can now qualify for non-QM loans. Down payment requirements are higher and mortgage rates are higher on non-QM loans than on conforming mortgages.  Capital Lending Network, Inc. now offers no-doc mortgages with a 20% down payment. No-doc mortgages are alternative loan programs where income tax returns or income documentation is not required.

Traditional Conforming Versus Non-QM Loans

Lenders halted in offering non-traditional nonconforming home mortgages after the 2008 housing meltdown and economic crisis. Traditional conforming loans are government and conventional loans. There are three government-backed loans: FHA, VA, USDA. Government loans are for primary owner-occupant home financing only. Conventional loans allow for primary owner-occupant home financing, second homes, and investment property loans.

Check If You Qualify

Non-QM loan programs allow for primary owner-occupant homes, second homes, and investment property financing that do not have to conform to government and/or conventional loan agency guidelines. Conventional loans are not government-backed loans. However, lenders require conventional loans to conform to Fannie Mae and/or Freddie Mac Agency Mortgage Guidelines. This is why conventional loans are often referred to as conforming loans. Non-conforming loans are portfolio loans. Each lender will set its own lending requirements.

The Role Of Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are the two government-sponsored enterprises (GSE) mortgage giants that are the two largest buyers of mortgages from lenders. The role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is to provide liquidity in the mortgage markets by purchasing mortgages funded by lenders. Lenders need to sell the mortgage they fund through their warehouse line of credit in order to pay it down so they can originate and fund more loans. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will not purchase mortgages that do not conform to their agency mortgage guidelines.

Non-QM Mortgages

Government and conventional loans have set agency mortgage guidelines which many disqualify many borrowers. Non-QM loans are alternative mortgage loan programs. These loans are not backed by any government agency. They are portfolio loans.

Many non-QM mortgage lenders either keep the loans they fund in-house or they may sell packaged mortgages to large financial institutions or hedge funds. Non-QM mortgages are now back and in full force. Today’s non-QM loans are in no way like the subprime mortgages that was the cause of the 2008 financial crisis.

Today’s non-QM mortgages are fully regulated like government and conventional loans and were launched with consumer protection in mind as well as to protect investors that purchase mortgages on the secondary mortgage bond market. Capital Lending Network, Inc. offers over dozens of non-QM mortgage loan programs.

Some of our popular non-QM loan programs are no-documentation mortgages, 12 months bank statement mortgages, asset depletion loans, P and L mortgages, and many other non-QM loans benefiting those who do not qualify for government and/or conventional loans. No-doc loans used to be the most popular loan program prior to the 2008 financial crisis. It has now come back to the marketplace.

What Are Non-QM Loans

Borrowers who cannot qualify for government and/or conventional loans often ask about non-conforming loan programs they may qualify for. The answer is Non-QM mortgages. So what are non-QM mortgage loans?

Alex Carlucci of Capital Lending Network, Inc. is one of the nation’s top loan originators of Non-QM mortgages. Alex Carlucci defines a non-QM loan as follows:

A Non-Qualified Mortgage (Non-QM loan) is any home mortgage not complying with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s existing rules on Qualified Mortgages (QM). Usually this type of alternative mortgage loan accommodates people who are not able to prove they are capable of making the mortgage payments. Just because it is a Non-QM mortgage loan does not necessarily mean high risk or subprime mortgage risk.

In many cases these Non-QM mortgage loans require a high FICO score but simply do not check all the boxes associated with a QM loan. The main difference between the two types of mortgage loans is that Non-QM loans for mortgages are protected by the lender against any type of lawsuit should you become unable to afford the mortgage loan.

Non-QM mortgages are one of the most popular loan programs at Capital Lending Network, Inc.
