Non-Qualified Mortgage Loan Options

In the lending space, there are two distinct loan varieties. One of those is called a qualifying mortgage, which means that the loan conforms to government or conventional mortgage guidelines.  These loans are generally more stringent on the requirements of a borrower to qualify to repay the loan. The loan and the borrower must fit strict requirements set by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The other type of loan is called a non-qualifying mortgage. These typically include portfolio loans or loan programs geared toward investors, self-employed borrowers, and non-US-citizens. The information used to qualify borrowers is different, and the requirements that lenders ask for are often different from qualifying mortgages as well. These requirements for non-qualifying mortgages are set by each individual lender who is approving or denying prospective borrowers. Velocity Lending is your local expert when it comes to non-qualifying mortgages, and we’re excited to help those who may not be able to qualify for traditional mortgages due to employment status, citizenship, or income.

There are abundant non-qm mortgage varieties. We can offer nearly ten varieties of loans that non-traditional borrowers can apply for.  These include programs for investors, non-citizens, self-employed borrowers, and more. They each will have different requirements for things like credit score, percent down, documentation and loan amounts. When you complete your application with us, we will collect relevant information to qualify you for loans and make notes of which programs will be the best fit for you. You will schedule a meeting with Josh or Dakota to go over loan options, monthly payments, and things you can do to improve or make changes to your financial picture. They will advise you on what the best choice is for your new home loan, explaining the pros and cons and the money involved. You will ultimately have the choice of what kind of loan program and what amounts you want to move forward with, as you are the borrower who is taking out the financing. Borrowers who do not qualify for “cookie-cutter” loan programs will often be offered non-qualified products to help them bridge that gap to homeownership. Read on to see if any of these loan types could help you in your unique financial situation.
