What is the difference between QM & Non-QM loans?

Open IconClose Icon

Both qualified mortgage (QM) and non-qualified (Non-QM) provide financing opportunities for homebuyers. Typically, financial institutions use W2s and paycheck stubs to verify individuals’ ability to pay their loan debt. However, today’s borrowers earn money differently.  Non-QM loans are not confined to the regulations of QM loans.

What types of documentation are required for Non-QM?

Open IconClose Icon

Non-QM loans differ from their traditional counterpart largely in the way that a borrower shows ability to repay the debt. While an agency may require a W2 and paycheck stubs to verify income, a Non-QM loan may not ask for verification of employment at all. The documentation depends on the loan type selected.  

Required documentation for Non-QM loans may include the following:
• Bank statements
• Tax returns
• Proof of assets

At Champions Funding, we offer loans to both consumers and investors. To finance investment properties with a DSCR loan, documentation is required to demonstrate the property’s ability to cover the debt.
