Why A Non-Agency Loan Could Be Your Best Option

The Non-QM (non-qualified mortgage) mortgage market is booming. Yet, despite the surge in demand for Non-QM mortgage programs and products, there is still little mainstream knowledge and understanding of Non-QM loans, why they exist, who they’re for, and what separates the top Non-QM lenders from the rest.

The whole purpose of Non-QM lending is to provide credit-worthy home buyers who don’t qualify for a traditional mortgage the loans they need and deserve. Of course, we also have to make sure they can afford them.

Believe it or not, it can be difficult for high net worth people to qualify for a traditional mortgage. The problem? No tax forms confirming a steady paycheck. Perhaps they are self-employed or retired and therefore unemployed. They could be a serial entrepreneur who has just launched a new start-up or the owner of a successful restaurant chain whose wealth is tied up in the business.
