Non-QM Loan Programs That Open More Doors
Every borrower has a different financial picture. Our non-QM programs offer mortgage brokers alternatives to traditional income documentation and conventional qualification requirements, creating opportunities to serve clients who might otherwise be difficult to finance.
Bank Statement Loans - Qualify Beyond Tax Returns
Self-employed borrowers often have strong cash flow but tax returns that don't fully reflect their ability to repay. Our bank statement programs allow eligible borrowers to qualify using personal or business bank statements rather than traditional tax-return documentation.
Key benefits:
-
Borrower-prepared expense letters permitted on eligible programs, without requiring an accountant-prepared letter
-
12- and 24-month personal and business bank statement options
-
Expense-factor calculations designed to evaluate eligible business deposits
-
Loan amounts up to $5 million
-
Up to 90% LTV on eligible loans up to $2 million, subject to credit and program requirements
-
Asset depletion may supplement qualifying income
-
First-time homebuyers and gift funds may be eligible
The broker advantage: Help entrepreneurs, business owners, and other self-employed borrowers qualify using documentation that may better reflect their financial circumstances.
DSCR Investor Loans - Put Investment Property Cash Flow to Work
Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loans provide financing for eligible real estate investors based primarily on the property's rental income relative to its debt obligations, rather than traditional personal-income qualification.
Our Traditional DSCR and No Ratio DSCR options give brokers flexibility when working with cash-flowing rentals, properties with limited rental income, and other investment scenarios.
Key benefits:
-
Property-focused qualification without traditional personal-income documentation on eligible programs
-
Traditional DSCR options for qualifying rental properties
-
No Ratio DSCR options for eligible scenarios that don't meet standard DSCR thresholds
-
Purchase, rate-and-term refinance, and cash-out refinance options
-
Short-term rental properties may be eligible
-
Interest-only and adjustable-rate options available
-
Financing for eligible property types, including select multifamily, condo-tel, and tenancy-in-common properties
-
Loan amounts up to $3.5 million
The broker advantage: Build relationships with real estate investors, support repeat transactions, and finance investment opportunities that may not fit conventional income-based lending.
P&L and 1099 Loans - Alternative Documentation for Self-Employed Borrowers
Not every self-employed borrower is best served by the same documentation method. Our P&L and 1099 programs provide additional ways to evaluate qualifying income for eligible business owners, independent contractors, and other borrowers whose earnings may not fit traditional underwriting models.
Key benefits:
-
P&L qualification using an eligible profit-and-loss statement, with required professional attestation
-
1099 qualification using eligible income documentation and program-specific expense calculations
-
No tax returns or transcripts required on applicable programs
-
Potential financing options for independent contractors, real estate professionals, and other self-employed borrowers
-
Alternative documentation choices to help brokers identify the most appropriate qualifying approach
The broker advantage: Match the documentation method to the borrower's circumstances instead of relying on a single income-qualification strategy.
Non-Warrantable Condo Loans - Find Financing for Complex Condo Projects
Condominium projects can present challenges when they don't meet standard agency eligibility requirements. Our non-warrantable condo financing helps brokers explore options for eligible borrowers purchasing or refinancing properties in projects that may not qualify for conventional financing.
Key benefits:
-
Loan amounts up to $3.5 million
-
LTVs up to 85% on eligible scenarios
-
No investor-concentration cap under the applicable program
-
Single-entity ownership of up to 30% may be permitted
-
HOA litigation may be considered on a case-by-case basis
-
Up-front review of project eligibility to help identify potential obstacles
The broker advantage: Pursue condo transactions that may be difficult to place through conventional channels, with early attention to project eligibility and potential underwriting issues.
Asset Depletion Loans - Turn Eligible Assets Into Qualifying Income
Some borrowers have substantial liquid assets but don't show enough conventional income to qualify for the financing they need. Asset depletion programs evaluate eligible assets using an approved calculation to derive qualifying income, potentially helping borrowers qualify without relying solely on employment or traditional income sources.
Key benefits:
-
Asset depletion may supplement income or serve as a standalone qualification method on eligible programs
-
Eligible assets can help support financing for retirees, high-net-worth borrowers, and others with limited reportable income
-
As little as $100,000 in eligible assets may be used to supplement qualifying income on applicable programs
-
Flexible depletion calculations, subject to program guidelines
-
Potential to consider cash-out refinance scenarios based on the intended use of proceeds
The broker advantage: Expand your reach to borrowers whose financial strength is reflected in their assets rather than conventional income documentation.
Closed-End Second Mortgages - Unlock Equity While Preserving the First Mortgage
Some borrowers need access to home equity but want to retain their existing first mortgage. A closed-end second mortgage can provide an additional financing option without replacing that first-lien loan.
Key benefits:
-
Access to home equity while retaining the existing first mortgage
-
An alternative to refinancing when replacing a low-rate first mortgage may be undesirable
-
Potential solutions for eligible debt consolidation, major expenses, and other permitted uses
-
Financing options with loan amounts up to $850,000, subject to program requirements
The broker advantage: Offer an additional solution to homeowners who need equity but may not want to refinance their current first mortgage.
Foreign National Loans - Financing Solutions for International Buyers
Foreign nationals purchasing U.S. real estate may have substantial assets or income but lack a U.S. credit history or conventional U.S. income documentation. Our Foreign National programs provide alternative qualification options for eligible international borrowers.
Key benefits:
-
No U.S. credit history required on eligible programs
-
Foreign income and assets may be considered
-
Loan amounts from $200,000 to $3 million
-
Up to 80% LTV on eligible second-home financing
-
DSCR options for eligible non-owner-occupied investment purchases
-
Reserve assets may remain abroad, subject to program requirements
The broker advantage: Serve international buyers and investors who may have difficulty obtaining financing through traditional U.S. mortgage channels.
ITIN Loans - More Options for Eligible Borrowers Without an SSN
An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) can support tax reporting for individuals who aren't eligible for a Social Security number. Eligible borrowers with an ITIN may have financing options even when conventional mortgage requirements don't fit their circumstances.
Key benefits:
-
Alternative financing for eligible ITIN borrowers
-
Qualification options that consider the borrower's available credit and income documentation
-
Potential access to higher-LTV financing for eligible non-first-time homebuyers
-
An additional way for brokers to serve borrowers who may be overlooked by traditional lending programs
The broker advantage: Expand your potential borrower base with financing options designed for eligible clients whose documentation differs from conventional requirements.
Tenancy-in-Common (TIC) Loans - Financing for Shared Property Ownership
Tenancy-in-common ownership allows multiple parties to hold individual ownership interests in the same property. Because this structure can present unique underwriting and legal considerations, financing options may be limited.
5th Street Capital offers specialized TIC financing for eligible shared-ownership scenarios, including select investment-property transactions.
Key benefits:
-
Financing options across eligible documentation types, including DSCR
-
Loan amounts from $250,000 to $3 million
-
LTVs up to 85% on eligible programs
-
FICO scores as low as 660 on eligible scenarios
-
A specialized option for borrowers purchasing property through a TIC structure
The broker advantage: Access a specialized financing solution for shared-ownership transactions that many conventional mortgage programs aren't designed to accommodate.
Additional Non-QM Lending Niches - Solutions for Scenarios That Require a Closer Look
Beyond our core programs, 5th Street Capital offers additional financing options for select borrower, property, and income scenarios. These capabilities help brokers explore alternatives when a standard loan program isn't the right fit.
Depending on current program availability and eligibility, additional niches include:
-
Full-documentation non-QM: Alternative underwriting for borrowers whose financial circumstances don't fit standard qualification requirements.
-
Cannabis-related income: Financing consideration for eligible business owners in certain cannabis-related industries, subject to program restrictions.
-
Condotels: Specialized financing for eligible condominium-hotel properties.
-
Native American leased land: A specialized lending option for eligible residential properties situated on Native American leased land, a niche that can be difficult to finance through traditional channels.
-
Complex income and property scenarios: Additional flexibility for eligible borrowers with unique employment histories, ownership structures, or property characteristics.
The broker advantage: When a loan scenario falls outside the ordinary guidelines, you have a wholesale lending partner to help evaluate potential options.
