What is a non-qualified mortgage Loan?

Alternative financing that accommodates borrowers who don’t fit traditional mortgage guidelines through flexible underwriting.

Also referred to as non-qm loans, Non-Qualified Mortgages are loan options that do not hold the past against you when borrowing. Bad credit from foreclosures, late payments or filing for bankruptcy can void lending options via qualified loans. However, Non-qualified mortgage borrowing looks less at credit history and more at an individual’s ability to pay back a loan. For example, a borrower’s income, type of employment, and current cash flows.

How Our Loan Application Process Works

In real estate timing is everything and we’re here to help you act quickly.

A Non-QM loan is a mortgage that doesn’t meet the standard guidelines set by conventional lenders — such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. They’re designed for borrowers with non-traditional income, past credit events, or investment property structures that don’t fit inside a bank’s box.
Yes. Non-QM loans exist specifically for situations where past credit events — such as a bankruptcy, foreclosure, or irregular income — would disqualify a borrower from conventional financing. We evaluate the deal and the borrower’s current situation, not just their credit history.
Significantly faster and more flexible. Our in-house underwriting team evaluates each file directly, issues credit decisions within 24 hours, and doesn’t require the documentation volume or wait times that conventional lenders do.
Self-employed borrowers, real estate investors, foreign nationals, borrowers with past bankruptcies or foreclosures, and anyone whose income or property doesn’t qualify under conventional mortgage guidelines.
We offer Non-QM loans for a range of investment property types throughout Florida. Contact our team with your specific property and situation and we’ll outline your options.
As a general guideline, we typically work with loan amounts starting at $400,000, with a maximum loan-to-value (LTV) of 60% and a maximum loan-to-cost (LTC) of 60%. Loan terms typically run 12–24 months. These are marketing benchmarks, not strict cutoffs — we evaluate every deal on its own merits and may exceed these parameters for strong opportunities.
