A non-qualified mortgage — or non-QM — is a  loan that is not required to meet agency-standard documentation requirements as outlined by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Non-QM loans may encapsulate a wide variety of loans, including:  loans exceeding 30-year terms.

 

  • Flexibility: Non-QM loans are primarily used by borrowers who might not qualify for conventional financing due to unique income situations, credit issues, or property types.
    • Documentation: Non-QM loans might have more flexible documentation requirements, especially beneficial for borrowers with unconventional income sources, such as self-employed individuals or foreign investors.

    • Credit Flexibility: While credit is still a factor, Non-QM lenders might be more lenient or look at alternative credit data.

  • The terms can vary, but Non-QM loans often come with shorter durations than traditional loans, sometimes ranging between 1 to 10 years.

  • Higher Rates: Due to the perceived higher risk associated with Non-QM loans, interest rates are typically higher than those of standard commercial mortgages.

  • Additional Fees: Borrowers might encounter higher origination fees or other associated costs.

  • Like other CRE loans, the financed property usually serves as collateral. In the event of default, the lender can take control of the property.

  • Alternative Evaluation: Non-QM lenders often have more flexible evaluation processes, looking at factors beyond traditional metrics. For instance, they might focus more on the property’s cash flow potential or the borrower’s overall financial strength rather than just credit scores.

Non-QM lenders may have different criteria regarding LTV and DSCR. In many cases, they might offer a lower LTV to mitigate the risk.

  • Accessibility: Offers financing solutions for those who might not qualify for traditional loans.

  • Speed: The approval process can be faster than conventional loans because of the flexible underwriting process.

  • Cost: Borrowers should be aware of the higher interest rates and fees.

  • Shorter Terms: Many Non-QM loans have shorter durations, requiring borrowers to refinance or pay off the loan quicker.

In essence, a CRE Non-QM loan provides an alternative route to financing for borrowers who might not fit the mold of traditional lending criteria. While they come with their own set of challenges and costs, they can be an essential tool for many investors or businesses in the commercial real estate realm. As always, it’s essential for potential borrowers to thoroughly understand the terms and consult with financial professionals before committing.
