What is the typical pricing implication for Non-QM loans?

Non-QM loans aren’t protected by the QM safe harbor, and they involve more uncertainty in the repayment and underwriting process. Because of the higher risk and the lack of standardized protections, lenders price these loans to compensate. That means higher interest rates and higher fees than typical QM loans, reflecting the greater credit and documentation risk, potential for longer or more complex processing, and servicing considerations.
