Non-QM Loans

Non-QM Loans

Your Income. Your Terms. Your Home.

When traditional mortgages won’t cut it, a Non-QM (Non-Qualified Mortgage) Loan from Richmond-mortgage opens new doors. We look beyond pay stubs and tax returns to evaluate your real financial picture—whether you’re self-employed, have variable income, or need flexibility. It’s a smarter path to home financing built for today’s nontraditional earners.

Why Non-QM Might Be Right for You

  • Alternative Income Methods — Use bank statements, profit & loss, asset records instead of or in addition to W-2s.

  • Flexible Credit Acceptance — Less rigid credit thresholds; more opportunity for recovery or irregular profiles.

  • Custom Loan Structures — Interest-only terms, adjustable periods, balloon options — built around your needs.

  • Loan Amount Freedom — Available for higher amounts or unique property types typically rejected by conventional lenders.

  • Time to Requalify — Use it as a bridge until your income stabilizes and you can shift into conventional products.

Who Non-QM Loans Help

  • Self-employed individuals whose tax returns don’t capture full earnings

  • Investors or real estate owners with irregular cash flow

  • Borrowers recovering from past credit issues but with strong assets

  • People needing flexibility beyond rigid loan program constraints
