Non QM Loan

A non-qualified mortgage (non-QM) is any home loan that does not comply with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) existing rules on qualified mortgages (QM). One of the main components of a QM loan is one’s ability to repay and the guidelines set by the agencies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac abide by these rules. Non-QM loans are typically for consumers with unique income qualifying circumstances that fall outside Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines.
