Non-QM Loans
Your Financial Story, Your Way When Traditional Loans Don’t Fit
Not all borrowers fit neatly into the “conventional mortgage” box. If you’re self-employed, have fluctuating income, credit quirks, or need a loan outside the usual limits, a Non-Qualified Mortgage (Non-QM Loan) might be just the flexible path you need. At Lowcostmortgage, we help you qualify based on what really matters — your ability to repay — not just rigid rules.
What Is a Non-QM Loan?
A Non-QM loan is a mortgage that doesn’t meet all the criteria set for Qualified Mortgages (QMs). That means rules on income verification, debt-to-income ratios, income types, or other underwriting standards are more flexible. But it still requires the ability to repay — the aim is to help those who can afford a home but can’t show it in conventional ways.
Why Choose Non-QM with Lowcostmortgage?
Alternative Income Docs
Qualify using bank statements, asset statements, profit & loss, or other non-traditional documentation.
Credit Flexibility
You might have past credit issues or non-standard credit profiles; Non-QM lenders sometimes work with more relaxed credit standards.
High Debt Ratios Possible
Some Non-QM loans allow debt-to-income ratios higher than what QM loans permit.
Loan Amounts & Types
Use Non-QM loans for purchase, refinance, investment, or even larger or non-standard property types.
Customized Terms
Interest-only payments, longer or non-standard terms, down payments adjusted to your situation.
Empowerment for Unique Borrowers
Good for self-employed, gig-economy workers, retirees, investors, or those with large assets but irregular income.
Is a Non-QM Loan Right for You?
A Non-QM loan might be the right fit if:
You’re self-employed, a freelancer, investor, or have irregular income
Your credit has blemishes but you have good assets or cash flow
You need a loan amount or property type conventional lenders reject
You value flexibility over the lowest possible cost
It might not be ideal if:
You prefer maximum borrower protections under QM rules
You have very stable income and can qualify with a conventional loan (which might be cheaper overall)
You dislike higher upfront costs or interest rates
