This calculator provides an illustrative estimate for educational and planning purposes only. It is not a loan offer, approval, commitment to lend, rate quote, or determination of qualification. Non-QM lender guidelines, qualification thresholds, rates, fees, and available programs vary by lender, borrower, property, and transaction. DSCR is shown only when monthly rental income is supplied. This estimate excludes taxes and insurance beyond the amounts entered, mortgage insurance, escrow adjustments, and lender-specific fees. Actual rates, payments, eligibility, and loan terms vary following review by the appropriate licensed lending professional.

The Basics

What Is a Non-QM Loan?

A Non-QM (non-qualified mortgage) loan is a mortgage that does not follow the standard agency underwriting guidelines used for conventional loans. Instead of relying on traditional W-2 income and standard debt ratios, Non-QM programs use alternative documentation such as bank statements, asset balances, or property cash flow to evaluate a borrower's scenario.

These programs are designed for borrowers whose income, employment, or property type does not fit traditional agency requirements. Because program requirements and availability vary by lender, borrower, and property, Anchor Capital Lending helps borrowers review and compare available Non-QM options for their scenario.

Who It Helps

Who Non-QM Loans May Help

Self-employed borrowers

Borrowers whose income is documented through business activity rather than traditional W-2s may explore bank statement or profit-and-loss programs.

Real estate investors

Investors financing rental property may use DSCR programs that weigh property cash flow alongside the borrower's overall scenario.

Foreign nationals

Borrowers without a U.S. credit history may qualify through programs that use alternative income and asset documentation.

Programs

Bank Statement Loans

A bank statement loan uses a borrower's business or personal bank deposits over a defined period to estimate income, rather than relying on traditional W-2s and tax returns. It is commonly used by self-employed borrowers whose income is documented through bank activity.

The number of months reviewed, the calculation method, and qualifying rules vary by lender and program. This calculator does not determine eligibility — it provides a general estimate of the monthly payment and loan-to-value based on the figures you enter.

Programs

DSCR Investor Loans

A DSCR (debt service coverage ratio) investor loan evaluates an investment property based on the relationship between its estimated rental income and the monthly housing payment. A DSCR above 1.0 generally means the rental income is estimated to cover the payment, though lender requirements vary.

This calculator shows an estimated DSCR only when monthly rental income is provided. The estimate compares rental income to the total estimated monthly housing payment, which includes principal and interest, property taxes, insurance, and HOA dues.

Programs

Asset Depletion Loans

An asset depletion loan uses a borrower's eligible liquid assets to derive an estimated qualifying income. The lender may divide the asset balance by a set number of months or years to estimate a monthly income figure used in underwriting.

The calculation method, eligible assets, and qualifying rules vary by lender and program. This calculator does not perform asset depletion calculations — it estimates the monthly payment and loan-to-value based on the figures you enter.

Programs

Profit and Loss / Self-Employed Programs

Profit and loss (P&L) programs use a borrower's business financial statements to estimate income. These programs are designed for self-employed borrowers whose earnings are documented through business performance rather than traditional payroll.

Lender guidelines, the documentation required, and qualifying calculations vary by program. Borrowers should review personalized options with a qualified lending professional to understand which documentation a specific program accepts.

Programs

Foreign National Programs

Foreign national programs are designed for borrowers without a U.S. credit history. These programs may use alternative income and asset documentation and can vary significantly in their requirements and availability.

Because guidelines differ by lender and jurisdiction, availability depends on the borrower's location, the property, and applicable lender requirements. This calculator provides a general estimate only and does not determine qualification.

Key Concepts

LTV, Estimated Payments, and DSCR

Loan-to-value (LTV) compares the requested loan amount to the estimated property value. The estimated monthly housing payment combines principal and interest, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and HOA dues. Together, these figures help you understand the size and cost of the loan relative to the property.

When monthly rental income is provided, the calculator also estimates a DSCR by comparing rental income to the total monthly housing payment. A higher DSCR suggests the rental income is estimated to better cover the payment, though lender thresholds and qualifying rules vary.
