There are some key differences between traditional and non-QM (non-qualified mortgage) jumbo loans: Traditional Jumbo Loans: Traditional loans conform to qualified mortgage (QM) rules set by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Non-QM loans have higher loan limits than conforming loans – typically over $776,550 for a single-family home. Stricter income/asset documentation requirements. Debt-to-income ratio typically capped at 43%. Most require down payments of at least 20%. Credit score requirements are usually 700+. Lenders must follow Ability-to-Repay rules.
Non-QM Jumbo Loans: Do not need to meet standard QM requirements. Loan amounts can exceed even jumbo loan limits (e.g. $2+ million). Allow more flexible documentation for income/assets (bank statements, P&L, etc). Can have higher debt-to-income ratios (49%+). May accept lower credit scores, depending on other strengths. Down payments sometimes lower than 20%. Self-employment, investor properties, and other unique profiles are acceptable. The main advantage of non-QM jumbos is they provide more flexible underwriting for borrowers who may not meet traditional guidelines but have assets/income to qualify. This includes: Real estate investors. Self-employed/1099 workers. Borrowers with strong assets but unusual income documentation. Those with high net worth but higher DTIs. However, non-QM jumbo loans tend to have higher interest rates and stricter reserve requirements to offset the higher risk. They undergo rigorous bank statement analysis or alternative income verification. In essence, traditional jumbo loans follow standard qualified mortgage lending rules at higher loan amounts, while non-QM jumbo programs offer more customized approvals for unique financial profiles – at a higher cost.
