What is a Speciality or Non-QM Loan?

Speciality or Non-Qualified Mortgage (Non-QM) loans offer flexible financing solutions for borrowers who may not meet traditional lending criteria. Unlike conventional mortgages, Non-QM loans consider various factors beyond standard income verification and credit scores. At Cazle Mortgage, we specialize in providing these customized financial products to meet the diverse needs of our clients.

Understanding Specialty or Non-QM Loans

Specialty or Non-QM loans are designed for borrowers who:

  • Have non-traditional income sources or irregular cash flows.
  • Are self-employed or own a business with fluctuating income.
  • Have credit issues in their past but demonstrate current financial stability.
  • Are seeking financing for unique properties or investment opportunities.

Eligibility and Documentation Requirements

Credit Requirements

While Specialty or Non-QM loans do not adhere to the strict Credit Score thresholds of conventional loans, a healthy credit history is typically required. Borrowers should demonstrate a responsible financial track record despite previous credit challenges.

Down Payment Requirement

Specialty or Non-QM loans often require a higher Down Payment compared to conventional mortgages. This demonstrates the Borrower’s commitment and reduces risk for lenders.

Documentation

Documentation requirements for Specialty or Non-QM loans vary based on the Borrower’s unique financial situation. Common documents include:

  • Bank statements.
  • Proof of income.
  • Business financials (if self-employed).
  • Asset verification.
