Non-QM Loans

If your mortgage needs are different than that of the average person, don’t worry, we can help!

At Great Northern Mortgage, we’ve seen it all. We know there are a lot of people for whom conventional mortgage products aren’t quite right. That’s why we’re happy to offer niche products to help you achieve your homeownership goals.

Bank Statement Programs

What is a Bank Statement Loan?

If you don't qualify for a FHA or conventional loan due to not showing enough income, a bank statement program may be just what you need. 

If you’re self-employed, your employment history and tax returns may not tell an accurate story about your financial health from the viewpoint of a traditional mortgage lender. A bank statement program gives you another way to demonstrate your suitability as a borrower.

Program Details:

  • 12 or 24 months of bank statements can be used in lieu of pay stubs
  • No tax returns required!
  • Borrow up to 90% of the value of the home
  • Debt-to-income ratios up to 55% accepted
  • Loans up to $3 million offered
  • Can be used for both primary and secondary homes, as well as investment properties
  • Non-warrantable condominiums
  • 30-year fixed rate with no prepayment penalty

Hard Money / Bridge Loans

Bridge loans are commonly used to solve immediate business concerns challenging working capital, real estate transactions and improvements, and debt. Great Northern Mortgage can provide a ready solution to pressing situations individuals and businesses face including acquisitions, crucial repair work before insurance claims are settled, impaired credit, borrower distress, foreclosures, tax liens and judgments, bankruptcies, estate taxes, litigation, vacancies, blanket mortgages, divorce, illness and death.

Great Northern Mortgage is able to provide funds quickly because we have access to national and international sources of private capital. Since these sources use their own private funds, they are not encumbered by prohibitive regulations, which institutional lenders must follow.

Main benefits: flexibility, speed, cost-effective and competitive relative to other financial options.

Please contact us if your loan scenario cannot be adequately handled by traditional lending sources either due to time constraints, deal complexity or the transitional nature of the property.
