Before you choose
Every non-QM lender has its own guidelines and pricing, so the loan officer's investor relationships matter.
- Which non-QM investors do you work with?
- Why does my situation need non-QM rather than an agency loan?
- Is there a prepayment penalty, and can I refinance later?
How this list is ranked
Specialty evidence carries the most weight (production data, then lender page, then self-reported). Loan officers are listed when a CT license is confirmed with the state regulator (check mark), CT is listed on their lender page, or they work at a bank or credit union (likely federally registered; verify at NMLS). Then branch location, experience (licensed since, per the regulator records we hold) and profile completeness. Disciplinary history is not yet checked by LenDb; verify at NMLS Consumer Access. No paid placement. Methodology.
