What is a non-QM loan?

A non-QM loan is a loan that deviates from standard documentation requirements. As a Hawaii Mortgage Broker we have access to a wide variety of non-QM loan products.

Here are some examples of various non-QM loan products, including: how their documentation differs from standard, and what type of borrowers these products best fit:

✅ Bank Statement Loans

Perfect for self-employed professionals who can’t qualify with traditional income calculations. We use 12–24 months of bank statements to verify income instead of tax returns.

✅ DSCR Loans (Debt Service Coverage Ratio)

Designed for real estate investors, these loans qualify you based on rental income from the property rather than personal income. Ideal for Hawaii’s hot short-term rental and long-term investment markets.

✅ Asset-Based Loans

Turn your liquid assets (savings, retirement accounts, investment portfolios) into qualifying income. Great for retirees or high-net-worth individuals.

✅ No Income Loans

For buyers with strong assets or equity but limited or complex income documentation. No income documentation is required on these loans.

✅ 1099 Income Loans

Independent contractors and gig economy workers can qualify using 1099 income instead of tax returns net.
