Things to know about Non-QM Loans in Texas
- Benefits and requirements
If you’re self-employed, a Non-QM loan in Texas could be an ideal option for you. These loans are tailored for individuals with unique income scenarios—such as entrepreneurs, independent business owners, and contractors—and offer flexibility. Non-QM loans in Texas are not bound by the stringent income verification rules of traditional loans set by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. This makes them an adaptable choice for those with unconventional income patterns or major credit incidents like bankruptcy or foreclosure.
A Non-QM loan in Texas offers flexible income verification alternatives to the standard methods used by traditional QM loans, making it easier for borrowers in Texas to qualify for a mortgage. Since these loans are not backed by government agencies like the FHA or Fannie Mae, they provide unique lending options without standard government support.
Self-employed individuals in Texas often face challenges securing traditional mortgages due to irregular income and multiple income sources. They may opt for loans based on bank statements rather than tax returns.
Prime borrowers with excellent credit who prefer options like interest-only payments or have a higher debt-to-income ratio find Non-QM loans appealing.
Near-prime or non-prime borrowers—such as those with limited credit history, recent bankruptcy, or a distressed property sale—are also good candidates for Non-QM loans.
Borrowers in Texas with significant assets and strong credit might choose a Non-QM loan to maintain cash flow flexibility instead of purchasing a home outright.
Non-QM loans are ideal for homebuyers who don’t have traditional income proof required for a conventional loan in Texas, which adheres to strict federal guidelines. These loans use alternative income verification methods to help more people qualify for a mortgage. Features like longer loan terms and interest-only payments can also aid in qualification. Remember, terms vary by lender, so it’s important to review your specific agreement carefully.
One-Year Tax Return Program
- Requires personal and business tax returns from the past year, including all related schedules.

- Calculates eligibility using a 3% rate of return on assets, amortized over seven years.

We could not be happier with our experience working with Lone Star – Texas Mortgage Lender, Brett Dempsey, and his team. As first-time homebuyers, we were nervous about the process, but Brett and his staff guided us every step of the way with patience, friendliness, and clear communication. They moved swiftly to secure everything we needed, kept us updated at each stage, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The rates they secured for us were excellent, the service was absolutely top-notch, and the team’s professionalism gave us complete confidence from start to finish. On top of that, Brett and his team were genuinely friendly and approachable, which made the experience all the more enjoyable. We are grateful for their dedication and couldn’t recommend them more highly. If you’re looking for a lender that combines expertise, efficiency, and personal service, Brett Dempsey and his team at Lone Star are the perfect choice. -The Carter FamilyPosted on Kevin MartinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've worked with Chris Lederer for well over a decade. He's always made the loan process seamless and goes the extra mile for his clients. His approach, service, and dedication to his clients makes you feel like you've known him your entire life. He's been able to coach myself and other people I know through the loan process and also help them with credit advice or referrals to fix credit for people that don't instantly qualify. I highly recommend working with Chris; you won't be sorry.Posted on Mandy DicktenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don’t ever writes reviews, but working with James honestly made the homebuying process way easier than I expected. He explained everything clearly, stayed on top of every detail, and somehow kept things calm even when the stress hit. I never felt lost or in the dark — and that’s saying a lot. What stood out most was how real he is. No fluff, no pressure, just straight-up support from start to finish. If you’re looking for someone who actually listens and doesn’t treat you like a number, James is the one to go to. Highly recommend him to anyone serious about buying a home — especially if you want someone in your corner who actually cares.Posted on Gary LarsenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Thank you James your a rock starPosted on Josie SolisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don’t usually leave reviews, but I had to this time. Long story short—Brett Dempsey was AWESOME. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions and uncertainty, but Brett was incredibly professional, kind, and helpful throughout the entire process. His communication was excellent—always prompt, clear, and patient, which made a huge difference for me. After a terrible experience with another lender at New American Funding, Brett turned everything around. He not only got us into our home, but also saved us a lot of money. He and his team truly exceeded our expectations. We’re so thankful!Posted on TommyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shawn D. and the team at Lone Star Financing are the best mortgage professionals you could ask for. Shawn was able to help us get a mortgage when no other lenders could, due to our unique circumstances. He is responsive, knowledgeable, and has the highest integrity. He didn't just help us get a house he re united my family. Thank you for all your hard work Shawn.
