There are those individuals who don’t have the conventional income that a W2 wage earner gets. There are self-employed borrowers, gig workers, independent contractors, and other similar income-type employees. Trying to get a loan conventionally would probably be very difficult but using a non-QM mortgage program increases the chance of qualifying for a mortgage. Below is a quick snapshot of the type of programs and details about some of the non-QM mortgage programs that we offer.
- Maximum loan amount: $3 million
- Maximum debt-to-income ratio (DTI): 45%
- Eligible properties: Primary residence and second homes (borrowers may own multiple second homes)
