What is a non‑QM mortgage?

A non‑QM (non‑Qualified Mortgage) is a fully compliant loan for borrowers with non‑traditional documentation or income patterns. Instead of relying solely on W‑2s and tax returns, non‑QM underwriting can use property cash flow, bank statements, 1099s, or assets to assess the ability to repay.


Who benefits from non‑QM lending at NASB?

  • Real estate investors and portfolio builders (including LLC ownership)
  • Self‑employed borrowers and business owners (using bank statement loans or 1099 mortgage loans)
  • High‑net‑worth borrowers leveraging assets for qualification
  • Self‑directed IRA investors using non‑recourse structures
  • Individuals looking to secure a loan after a one-time hardship, such as bankruptcy or foreclosure

Non-QM Mortgage FAQs

Yes. NASB offers a full suite of non‑QM options (DSCR, bank statement/1099, asset‑based, credit event) plus IRA non‑recourse lending.

NASB offers multiple Non‑QM options, including Bank Statement, 1099, DSCR, Asset Depletion, Jumbo, Bridge, Portfolio, Credit Event, and Non‑warrantable Condo loan solutions. Broadly, Non‑QM is an umbrella category that encompasses alternative documentation and investor‑focused programs.

At NASB, a Non‑QM loan is a mortgage that doesn’t meet agency “Qualified Mortgage” rules and instead uses alternative documentation to verify your ability to repay. Generally, Non‑QM loans serve creditworthy borrowers who need more flexible income or credit criteria than those required by standard QM loans.
NASB’s Non‑QM solutions are designed for self‑employed professionals, independent contractors, asset‑rich borrowers, and those with recent credit events. Typically, Non‑QM loans fit borrowers whose financial profiles don’t align with W‑2 paystubs, automated underwriting, or conventional waiting periods.
At NASB, Non‑QM refers to underwriting outside QM rules, while some non‑conforming loans (such as certain jumbos) may still be full‑doc but fall outside agency purchase limits. Generally, “Non‑QM” relates to the federal QM rule, whereas “non‑conforming” refers to loans not eligible for sale to Fannie/Freddie due to size or criteria.



1Non-QM loans require a minimum 700 FICO score, a minimum loan amount of $175,000 (exceptions include mortgage products for properties located within the Greater Kansas City metro and surrounding areas), and a 20% down payment. A lower FICO score or down payment may be available with eligible compensating factors. Must have a two-year history in the same line of work. Contact a NASB Loan Officer for details on the excluded areas and/or zip codes. The product is not available in New York, the Chicago or Baltimore metropolitan areas and not in all locations or for all property types. Loans are subject to underwriting, eligibility criteria, and other factors. Your Loan Officer will provide more information regarding non-QM loans and what may work best for your situation.
