Watch this video to find out the two ways you can get a mortgage loan if you're self-employed without W2s or pay stubs.





Non-QM Home Loan FAQs

A non-QM loan, or a non-qualified mortgage loan, is any loan that does not comply with QM rules. It does not mean it’s a more risker loan for the borrower or the lender. Non-QM loans offer more flexibility on how income is documented. Non-QM loans also offer limited or alternative documentation. Non-QM loans must still comply with ability-to-repay (ATR) requirements. Since the loans are not insured, guaranteed, or backed by any government agency, the portfolio lender keeps the loan in their portfolio. 

Self-employed borrowers who can't provide a W-2 or pay stubs to verify their income are ideal candidates for a non-QM loan. Lenders can look at their bank statements over the past year or two to get a clear picture of their income. Other non-QM candidates can include independent contractors who can use their 1099s to qualify for a mortgage, or real estate investors using a DSCR loan to help them qualify for a loan based on their property’s cash flow without verifying personal income.  

A minimum loan amount of $175,000 is required to apply. Exceptions include mortgage products for properties located within the Greater Kansas City metro and surrounding areas. Contact a NASB Loan Officer for details on the excluded areas and/or zip codes.

A conventional or qualified mortgage (QM) loan is a mortgage class that meets specific lender and borrower standards, as outlined in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. QM loans cannot have certain more risky features like negative amortization, balloon payments, or interest-only payments. A non-QM loan is essentially any loan that doesn't meet QM requirements. 


What Our Customers Say
Alexander S., April 5, 2024
★★★★★ (5)

"I was pretty much locked in with another lender but wasn't 100% convinced. I did a Google search looking for the best mortgage options for business owners/self-employed, and NASB popped up in several places with solid recommendations. For us, it was like a final Hail Mary to ensure we looked at all possible options. We couldn't be more glad we took that last step and found you. Your speed is second to none, and the service was amazing from start to finish. Needless to say, we are also very happy with the rate that we got."



1According to Bain and Company, the source of the Net Promotor Score (‘NPS’) system, a score of 50 is excellent, and anything above 80 is world-class.
