What is a Non-QM Loan?
Non-Qualified Mortgage (Non-QM) loans are typically for borrowers with unique circumstances and for those who don’t fit the normal “qualified-mortgage box”. Often these loans are for borrowers with non-traditional circumstances like fluctuating income, self-employed independent business owners, contractors, entrepreneurs, artists, etc.
Benefits of Non-QM Loan
