NON-QM / SELF EMPLOYED

PURPOSE & HISTORY:

We at LoanGIANT Home Loans, believe that it’s important to provide a range of lending solutions that fit all types of buyers. That’s why we offer Non-QM home loans.

 

A non-QM mortgage is one that doesn’t adhere to the lending standards set out by the Dodd-Frank Act. These regulations were issued in 2014 to ensure borrowers have the ability to repay their loans and to prevent a repeat of the subprime mortgage crisis seen during the Great Recession.

 

Why you may benefit from an Non-QM home loan:

A Non-QM loan, or a non-qualified mortgage, is a type of mortgage loan that allows you to qualify based on alternative methods, instead of the traditional income verification required for most loans. Common examples include bank statements or using your assets as collateral.

Non-QM Private Mortgage Insurance:

There is no mortgage insurance premium on Non-QM loans nor bank statement loans for self-employed borrowers.

What is a non-qualified mortgage?

What is a Non-Qualified Mortgage? A Non-Qualified Mortgage (Non-QM) is a loan that doesn’t meet the standards of a qualified mortgage and uses non-traditional methods of income verification to help a borrower get approved for a home loan. These types of loans are for borrowers with unique income qualifying circumstances.

What is the difference between QM and non QM?

Non-QM vs. Qualified Mortgage Non-QM loans are an alternative to qualified mortgage (QM) loans. More specifically, a Non-QM loan is one that is not required to meet the federal government and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) guidelines for qualified mortgages.

THE HISTORY OF NON-QM LOANS:

After the most recent housing crisis, the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was signed into law in the summer of 2010 by then President Barack Obama.

Along with other regulatory reform, it created minimum standards for mortgages, including the Ability to Repay rule (ATR) and a Qualified Mortgage definition (QM).

These were later adopted by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and put into action on January 10, 2014.

The new rule provides banks and mortgage lenders with certain liability protection when originating Qualified Mortgage (QM) loans, which allows them to make home loans with less fear of buybacks, lawsuits, and financial loss.

As a result, Non-QM loans were created and do not comply with the Qualified Mortgage QM rule.

The downside to providing these loans is the lack of liability protection, along with a less liquid secondary market to unload the mortgages to investors.

The upside is LoanGIANT offers this loan type that many other institutions choose not to offer nor originate.

Non-QM Does Not Necessarily Mean High Risk

First and foremost, a Non-QM loan is not inherently high-risk, nor is it subprime. It is simply a loan that doesn’t fit into the complex rules associated with QM.

In fact, many of these loans will actually require extremely high FICO scores, along with other strong borrower attributes like steady jobs and plentiful assets.

Interest-Only Loans Are Non-QM Territory

For example, interest-only loans are a popular type of mortgage that are not covered by the QM rule.

These will probably be the most common loan type under the non-QM umbrella.

Stated Income Is a Feature of a Non-QM Loan

Another common feature of a non-QM loan is the documentation type.

Many Non-QM loans allow for stated income, whereas QM-compliant loans must be fully documented via standard income underwriting protocol.

So, if you can’t provide fully documented income, you might have to go the non-QM route, even if you have stellar credit, assets, and employment history.

This includes bank statement programs and asset-based lending, as opposed to the typical documentation of income and assets.

Loans with DTI Ratios Above 43% Might Be Non-QM

At the moment, loans backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, or those insured by the FHA, VA, or USDA, are exempt from the 43% debt-to-income ratio limit imposed by QM.

In other words, many loans can still exceed 43% DTI and get the QM seal of approval.

This may continue if industry heavyweights get their way, and the DTI limit is removed from the Qualified Mortgage rule.

However, loans that are in the jumbo realm (loan amounts above what the aforementioned agencies accept) and above 43% DTI are most likely non-QM territory.

This explains the recent trend of using assets to qualify when income falls short, which still satisfies the Ability to Repay rule required for all mortgages.

40-Year Mortgages and Neg-Ams Are Non-QM Loans

Additionally, mortgages with terms beyond 30 years are also prohibited under the new QM rule.

Again, lenders may extend financing with terms beyond 30 years, offering 40-year mortgages and other products that don’t conform to the QM definition to meet public demand.

But they won’t come with the protection afforded under QM.

Another loan program that was highly popular during the previous housing boom was the option arm, its main feature being negative amortization.

What is Non-QM?

A non-qualified mortgage or non-QM is a loan for borrowers who cannot meet the guidelines of an Agency or a qualifying mortgage (QM). An example is a self-employed borrower who cannot qualify using their tax returns. They need an alternative solution such as a Bank Statement loan to qualify for a home loan.

What are the advantages of non-QM features versus QM?

Non-QM must satisfy the ability to repay rule (ATR) just like a QM loan, but there are benefits to non-QM that do not apply to a QM loan. Non-QM can have loan terms that exceed 30 years or interest only payments.

  • The caps on fees and points are maxed at 5% versus 3% for a QM loan.

  • The standard DTI on a primary or a second home is 40/50, whereas the DTI on a QM loan can vary.

Self-employed borrowers can qualify submitting bank statements from a personal or business account in lieu of tax returns. Agency or QM loans do not allow bank statement submissions. A huge benefit for real estate investors is that non-QM does not have a limit on the number of non-owner occupied (NOO) properties a borrower can own. As well, non-QM allows NOO properties to close in an LLC while a QM loan does not allow this benefit.

How do non-QM products help borrowers who cannot qualify for a QM loan?

There are many instances of how non-QM can help borrowers or save a deal from a fall-out situation. Here are the most common scenarios:

Bank Statement (Personal or Business): Help self-employed borrowers qualify by basing income on their cash flow and liquid assets since their tax returns and W-2s of pay stubs alone may not be reflective of their ability to repay.

Debt Service Cover Ratio (DSCR): Helps borrowers qualify based on rental analysis to determine property cash flow versus income and debts.

Just Missed: Helps well-qualified borrowers whose credit profile falls just outside of today’s tight and inflexible lending standard.

Life/Credit Event: Helps a borrower that was affected by a negative life or credit event (e.g., bankruptcy, foreclosure, short sale, loss of job, divorce, medical issues, recent mortgage lates).

No Income/High Assets: Allows borrowers to qualify for loans using their liquid assets and does not require employment or debt to income to justify ability to repay. For borrowers who have enough assets to buy the home outright, but they don’t want to liquidate their assets to do so.

Program Options:

LoanGIANT not only offers non-QM products that not all lenders have, but great options within those products. The features of our non-QM products can help originators provide more value to their borrowers and referral partners – and lead to more closed loans.

Here are program options available through our non-QM loan products important to know about:

 

Interest Only

Our 40-year fixed interest-only option can help lower monthly mortgage payments for your borrowers. Borrowers qualify on the 30-year amortized payment, but on the first ten years of the loan they make only interest payments.
 
We recast monthly – if they make a payment towards the principal, we will adjust the interest-only payment accordingly. This can be used for a purchase or a refinance.

Delayed Financing

Many cash buyers might want to finance the home, especially if they paid cash just to win a bid. You can turn cash buyers into a closed loan through delayed financing. A cash buyer is a potential borrower! Get the word out to Realtors and anyone else you know.
 
With delayed financing, borrowers who paid cash can get a mortgage within six months of purchase without waiting to recoup a majority of that cash. Let real estate investors know that they don’t have to leave assets tied up in a home after paying cash. Through delayed financing, investors can use the cash to buy a new property or renovate to ready it for renters.

TBD Properties

We can issue preapprovals for borrowers who do not yet have a property to purchase. Your borrowers will know what they can afford and the income we will use, but that loan does not go into our system for processing.
 
We can determine income for self-employed borrowers without using tax returns. We look at self-employed borrowers’ 1003 credit and either personal or business bank account statements to calculate income.

Cash-Out Refinance

We do a lot of cash-out refinances for our originator clients that allows their borrowers to tap into their equity to achieve various goals. All of our non-QM products can be used for a cash-out refinance.
 
Get the word out to borrowers that a cash-out refinance is a great option for high-interest debt consolidation, home improvement projects, real estate investment purchases, tuition, or to fund a new business.

Non-QM Borrower Profiles

Real Estate Investors

What does the profile of a real estate investor borrower look like?

Any borrower buying their first investment property or a seasoned investor growing their real estate portfolio who are experienced in purchasing, renting, and managing rental properties. The majority of these borrowers are familiar with up-to-date market conditions, real estate trends and have already closed loans for multiple properties. They are not always familiar with alternative loan solutions when an Agency loan is not an option. Fannie Mae has tightened guidelines for second homes and investment loans making it harder to qualify. Competition is fierce in the market today, and many investors cannot afford a delay in closing.  They need to move fast requiring an easy loan solution for a quick close. They are qualified based on a debt service coverage ratio, FICO and LTV.

These buyers are purchasing based on an anticipated return on their investment and /or new stream of income.

Real estate brokers and their real estate investor borrowers every day providing solutions that get to the closing table quickly.

Products: Bank StatementBusiness Bank StatementPlatinum JumboInvestor Cash FlowPortfolio SelectAsset QualifierForeign National

Why would they require non-QM to qualify for a mortgage?

Depending on the borrower’s unique situation, they may not have the employment or tax documentation to qualify for an Agency loan. As mentioned, Fannie Mae has tightened guidelines for second home and investment loans.  Other situations include limits on the total number of properties, non-warrantable condos, and if rental property is held under an LLC.
 
The easiest solution can be a cash flow loan such as LoanGIANT’s Investor Cash Flow loan. This loan is based on a rental analysis to determine cash flow and does not require employment or tax information. It is easy to do and quick to close working with us.
 
Originators who close these loans with LoanGIANT know to call us first to ensure a quick close without delays. Our account executives are experts – the Investor Cash Flow loan is one of our most highly utilized options.

 

What are non-QM mortgage options for real estate investors?

  • Investor Cash Flow– Qualification based on property cash flow with a minimum DSCR of 1.0. No income or employment information required. This loan is for non-owner occupied investment properties.

  • Warrantable and Non-Warrantable Condos – Investor Cash Flow and full doc Portfolio Select mortgage loans allow warrantable or non-warrantable condos.

Jumbo Borrowers

What does the profile of a Jumbo borrower look like?

A Jumbo borrower is anyone purchasing a home outside of the conforming limit as set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Home prices are different across the country, and the limits for conforming and non-conforming homes can be too. Currently, the limits are $548,250 for a single family home and can go up to $822,375 depending on the state. Because of this, it is hard to pinpoint exactly the demographic of a Jumbo borrower. Generally, they are created for affluent borrowers wanting luxury homes. However, many average borrowers in high-cost areas such as New York City may not have an option other than a Jumbo loan.
Real estate brokers and their Jumbo borrowers every day providing solutions that get to the closing table quickly.

Products: Bank StatementBusiness Bank StatementPlatinum JumboInvestor Cash FlowPortfolio SelectAsset QualifierForeign National

 

Why would they require non-QM to qualify for a mortgage?

Jumbo loans are non-Agency or non-QM loans that cannot be sold to government agencies such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Jumbo loans are held by private lenders or sold off to investors. At LoanGIANT, we service transactions for the life of the loan as the end investor.
 
There are two types of Jumbo loans – Prime and Non-QM. Not all Jumbo borrowers can qualify for a Prime rate because the guidelines are tighter. If that is the case, they might be eligible for a non-QM Jumbo loan. LoanGIANT has a non-QM offering called Platinum Jumbo. It is a great full doc option that is easy and quick to close. We receive calls every day from brokers asking us to save a deal because their borrower was turned down for a Prime Jumbo loan.
 
Originators who close these loans with LoanGIANT know to call us first to ensure a quick close without delays. We can determine from the start which loan product to use to avoid a delay in closing.

What are non-QM mortgage options for Jumbo borrowers?

  • Platinum Jumbo – A full doc product for loans up to $3 million. Allows four years out of foreclosure, bankruptcy and deed-in-lieu. A one year tax return option is available as long as it is the most recent year.

Self-Employed Borrowers

What does the profile of a self-employed borrower look like?

This loan is designed for credit-worthy borrowers who cannot use tax returns to qualify for a mortgage. They need an alternate income calculation to qualify. Qualifying income is the total of deposits less business expenses. Many times, the only obstacle is not having a tax return to satisfy ability to repay. They have good to excellent credit with steady income and, often times, looking to purchase a higher priced home. A significant share of our self-employed borrowers need a Jumbo loan purchasing homes outside of the conforming limit set forth by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). They own their own company, physician practice, law firm, salon, restaurant, retail store, etc…
 
Non-traditional or gig work consists of income earning jobs based on a contractual or other work arrangement. Gig economy workers can be seasonal or hired on a project basis instead of long-term. Examples include freelancing, subcontractors and temporary agency workers. A good majority of these people receive 1099 tax forms instead of a W-2.
 
LoanGIANT works with brokers and their self-employed borrowers every day providing solutions that get to the closing table quickly.

 

Why would they require non-QM to qualify for a mortgage?

The most common scenario we see are self-employed borrowers who do not qualify for Agency loans. At times, brokers will call us with a borrower who was turned away asking if we can save the deal. We listen to the scenario and match one of our loan products for an efficient and quick close.
 
Self-employed borrowers are allowed deductions on their tax returns to minimize tax liability. At times, the income stated on the return will not allow them to qualify for the home they want to purchase. Their only option is a non-QM solution such as a Bank Statement loan using personal or business account submissions to determine income.
 
It can be especially challenging for those who are gig workers to qualify for an Agency loan simply because of how and when they earn income. They receive 1099 tax forms and do not have a W-2 to use to qualify for a loan. They can also qualify for a Bank Statement loan or our 1099 Income loan using 1099 earning statements in lieu of bank account statements.
 
Originators who close these loans with LoanGIANT know to call us first to ensure a quick close without delays. Our account executives let them know upfront which loan product they qualify for and the income we will use. Our Bank Statement review team completely reviews, analyzes, and calculates income for you upfront saving you time.

What are non-QM mortgage options for self-employed borrowers?

  • Bank Statement Product – 12 or 24 months personal or business bank statement submissions offering loans up to $3 million. Two years seasoning for foreclosure, short sale, bankruptcy, or deed-in-lieu.

  • 1099 Income – 1099 earners can use their statements in lieu of tax returns.  Use 1099s for the last year or last two years based on eligibility.

  • Full Doc Portfolio Select – now accepts one year tax returns for those eligible. Ideal for those just two years out of foreclosure, bankruptcy, or deed-in-lieu.

  • Asset Qualifier – self-employed borrowers with significant assets can qualify without using income or employment documentation. This is another option for borrowers who have income not reported on a tax return and can utilize liquid assets in savings and investment accounts instead.
