Which loans benefit from the conclusive presumption of QM compliance?

The concept being tested is how the conclusive presumption works with Qualified Mortgages. When a loan qualifies as a General QM, it is treated as meeting the Ability-to-Repay requirements with a safe harbor. That means the lender is presumed to have complied with the ATR rule, which provides protection from certain lawsuits or liability. The best answer is prime loans that meet General QM standards. These loans fit the criteria for a QM (such as being fully amortizing, within the targeted term, and meeting the limits on points and fees and debt-to-income ratio). Because they meet these standards, they enjoy the conclusive presumption. Subprime adjustable-rate loans and jumbo mortgages without QM features do not fall under the QM framework, so they do not receive this presumption. Prime loans that do not meet General QM standards are not QM, and thus not eligible for the conclusive presumption.
