Which statement about VA loans and QM classification is accurate?

Government-backed loan programs have a built-in QM treatment, giving them safe harbor status under the Qualified Mortgage rules. When a loan is insured or guaranteed by a government agency, such as the VA, it automatically meets the QM criteria and carries safe harbor protection. That’s why VA loans made under VA standards are considered safe harbor qualified mortgages. This is why the statement is correct: VA loans that follow VA guidelines align with the QM framework and receive the protective safe harbor designation. As helpful context, VA loans typically do not require private mortgage insurance, and they can be assumed by a qualified borrower. Those points show why the other statements aren’t accurate: VA loans being ineligible for QM, requiring PMI, or cannot be assumed don’t align with how VA loans and QM interact.
