Non-QM
A non-qualified mortgage (Non-QM) is a home loan designed to help homebuyers who can't meet the strict criteria of a qualifying mortgage. These loans are structured to accommodate self-employed borrowers and wage earners who want to purchase or refinance based on current circumstances to obtain financing now.
If you are self-employed or don't have all the necessary documentation to qualify for a traditional mortgage, you might need to look at non-qualified mortgages.
