Is non-QM more expensive?

Pricing reflects the additional underwriting involved. We will always show you the conventional route first if you qualify for it.

Is this what caused the 2008 crisis?

No. Modern non-QM lending still requires a documented ability-to-repay determination. What changed is the documentation method, not whether repayment capacity is verified.

Can I refinance out of it later?

Frequently that is the plan — use non-QM to get in, then refinance into conventional once the file is cleaner. We will map that path with you.

Non-QM Financing

For files that don't fit the box — because most real ones don't.

Non-qualified mortgages sit outside the standard agency guidelines. That is not a euphemism for risky; it means the underwriting has room for circumstances the standard box cannot describe.
